Need to replace the spreader Channel Urgently

Hi all

I managed to damage (break) the spreader channel

Any information on the maker or where to get a replacement will be appreciated

Regards

At least that is what I think....

I found the "Spreader bar" on the Catalina Direct website :)

But been waiting forever now.....

Actually, does anyone know the maker of our masts??

I have been waiting for almost 4 weeks for the part from CatalinaDirect but I am not able to get now even an email confirming the status of the order:confused:

I cant believe that no-one here knows the maker of our masts or has had trouble with the spreaders

Cheers

I believe it's a Selden(sp?). If you weren't in Hong Kong, a call would answer that question. How about an email to Gerry Douglas?

Well, I am one who doesn't know and has not had a problem. I hope you get your answer soon.

Catalina Direct reported on potential problems with the spreader bar a while back:

There is nothing on our mast to identify who made it. I looked today as it is on the rack for the winter.

Hi guys

Do you think that Gerry would take my email?

In Cat Direct I usually get emails from Nick, he seems very helpful, although now it has been 13 days since I have not received a reply to my emails

Selden? ok, I will try that one

Yes, I saw the message on the spreaders, but the damage with the spreaders on my boat was very much defined as:
- the spreader
- the crain at my club
- the idiot parking the boat (aka Me)...

I just didn't see the freacking thing popping out!!! :eek:
