[C38] Mast deck collar

[Joseph Launie]

Jonathan,
     When I commissioned Maacavity in 1991 I had a custom collar made 
with 10 or 12 ATTACHMENT POINTS FOR THE HALYARD BLOCKS.
dOWN BELOW WE HAVE A TURNBUCKLE GOING FROM THE DECK TO THE MAST.   I am 
currently laid up waiting to have my failed artificial hip replaced but 
I will try to get crew to the boat to send you pix. Joe Launie/Macavity

I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on this.  Where can I find one made for the Catalina 38?  What about the stress on the deck from the blocks pulling up?  Is there a need for a strut down below to transfer the load back onto the mast?  Any photos you may have showing your deck collar would be helpful as well.
