These boots are a bit easier to install than traditional leather spreader boots, but the rubber doesn't last in the sun as long. See "May we also suggest" below for our custom leather spreader boots to fit your particular boat.

Suitable for use on (their may be others):
• Catalina 250, perfect fit for early Catalina supplied masts and most likely the best rubber option for later supplied mast as well.
• Capri 26, slightly thinner spreader, but still suitable.
• Catalina 270 lower spreaders, slightly thinner spreader, but still suitable.
• Catalina 28 MKII furling rig, upper and lower spreaders. The edges of the boots will overlap a bit during installation. See secondary images.
• Catalina 30, slightly thicker spreaders, but still suitable, see secondary image.
• Catalina 310, upper and lower spreader. The edges of the boots will overlap a bit during installation. See secondary images.
• Catalina 320, upper and lower spreader. The edges of the boots will overlap a bit during installation. See secondary images.
• Catalina 350, upper and lower spreader. The edges of the boots will overlap a bit during installation. See secondary images.
• Catalina 387, upper and lower spreader. The edges of the boots will overlap a bit during installation. See secondary images.

• 1 pair of spreader boots.
• 27 yards of waxed sail twine to whip the boots around the shrouds and spreaders.
• A full roll of our premium, self amalgamating rigging tape (plenty for this project plus extra for use around the boat). Use the tape over the whipping to secure the sail twine and add protection from the sun.

Always leave a little space surrounding the upper shrouds. A tight grip around the wire prevents the shroud from sliding through the spreader tip. This could cause a bent spreader when the mast is stepped again after having been de-rigged for inspection or trailering.
