Grab a coffee and get comfortable, here is a bit of Saturday morning reading for you. Below is a link to another of my occasional histories of remarkable C 37/40. In some of these stories it is the boat or events the boat is involved in that are remarkable, in others it is the owners. This

I Googled Jim Thoman - Cinkel and see that he has a Linked-In profile. "President and General Manager" Cinkel Yacht Steering Systems and Spars from Feb 1976 to Sept 1987. Now "Grass Land Manager" at Farmer Jims Grass Fed Beef. That's a switch. From: Josh

You don't have to remove the top plate. Take the tension off the halyards, or the sheaves will get pulled down into the mast. Turn the mast so the sheaves are facing down. If the spindle is attached to the metal tab (not all of mine were), just pull it out, remove the old sheave and insert the

Easy unless it's not - which I find is true of most boat projects. Old boat, old mast, I found my clevis pin was quite stuck / seized and the cover plate sheared off. My mast didn't have an opposing hole (not sure if yours does). I wrote about this in this blog post:

Not that it helps but my mast was made by Offshore Spars. I know because there is a vinyl graphic about 8 or 9 feet off the deck. You might find some type of similar marking if you look. I can't recall exactly where I saw it (APS maybe?) but there was a place which had many cut off mast

Yep pretty much as easy as you described. You may find that the fit is tight enough that you need a punch or screw driver through the smaller hole on the other side to push the pin out. Ed Louchard at Zephyrwerks makes a great product and is willing to take input on what you have currently, what

Don, the owner of Cinkel was Jim Thoman. After Cinkel closed he had a company called Spindleworks. He was a good resource, and if anyone on the list knows his whereabouts, it may be a benefit to the list. Cinkel made my mast also right after yours. 41 C/B #96. Sent from my iPad On Mar 8,

With my mast out for the winter, I am thinking of replaces the sheaves at the masthead. Being a new owner of my 35 mkiii and not wanting to screw up the present halyard operation, is it as easy as unscrewing the Phillip screw, remove metal tab, pull out metal spindle and remove and replace the
