So finally I found specialist ss welder John in Houston and have had him weld up some stainless fittings for the repurposed North Ezzy Wave mast. 3 collars in all to take the various spreaders and stays as well as mount the screecher a bit more nicely. The middle fitting mounts permanently to the lower pole and carries the spreaders below.
This work will be photographed when I return to Houston and posted on here. The tack welded bits were perfect fits and machined prettily. Spreaders are
similar in aspect to the kind of outrigger fittings for a fishing boat but using re-purposed Nacra spreaders (Thanks Rick). Should look very nice indeed when put together. The SS work looks gorgeous. We'll see if my rigging work matches up.
Aim to be on water Sunday woohoo.
