As part of my annual haul out this year, I had a rigging survey done by my
boatyard. They found a crack that runs along the trailing edge of the lower
starboard spreader. We are looking at two options: weld repairs and new
spreaders. Has anyone else run into this problem? If so, any help on
If welding is an option, I would take it.

My buddy and I replace shrouds and stays all the time with a boat's mast

replaced both spreaders on a rig a couple years ago. Granted the boat had

Thanks for all the comments!
Cracks in aluminum have a tendency to propagate--so, small cracks can turn into
bigger problems. Since this is easy to fix here and difficult to fix later in
the Bahamas, I'm fixing it here. I am having my spreaders removed (one at a
time) and having them weld rep
