Joseph and David, can you please post the pictures on the listservre. I'm thinking of doing the same thing on #108. 
Thanks, Dan Miller, Chesapeake Bay

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 would like to install a mast deck collar, SS, with eyes welded onto it that I can then attach turning blocks so I can run my halyards, reefing lines and sail controls back to the cockpit.  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.

Thanks
