Dropping my mast, need to do a couple of things

[Quantico Frank]

No prob Frank - I was as curious as you guys were. While the mast is down, I'm also taking the opportunity to McLube the sheaves and mast slot since it's been a while.

Come to think of it, maybe I'll lube mine too since my mast is down right now. I was surprised when I was modifying that HDPE structure to support the antenna that the sheaves were just nylon wheels rotating on bolts. I had imagined something more elaborate with bearings.

Checked with Bill on the 21 spreaders and he said they are 50cm so I've ordered the small set for my boat.

50cm Tom? That can't be right. That's like 20 inches. Must be the length rather than the diameter?

[Tom G P 21]

DOH! 50 MM shouldn't post until after me second cup of tea.

[Riggerdood]

I thought maybe you meant 50 mm, but even that is just shy of 2 inches, which seems like a pretty big diameter for a 21? No matter, the small size would still work.
