[C38] Mast deck collar

[Steve Smolinske]

Jonathan after further thought we do have the main sheet lead through the mast collar, I redid the main sheet so that it no longer attaches to the deck making the triangle patterns but it runs along the bottom of the boom to the mast and then down to a block and then aft.

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.
