Hi, All, I just acquired a Coronado 23 that had had the mast stolen for scrap. I bought another 24' mast from a Venture 222 and all the rigging from it. My boat still has all the rigging as the thieves just unbolted everything. I have never seen the original mast from my boat.
There are three anchor points on each side and three shrouds, I think. The Venture mast only has two. Pardon, my newbie dumb question, but where do the three go, or do I just use the two on each side? I assume that there are two at the spreader and one through the spreaders to the masthead. Is that correct. Any chance that either of the existing shrouds will fit without modification, other than adjusting turnbuckles?
Second question. The PO either lost or the thieves took the rudder, too. I can build a replacement easily enough, but I need the dimensions of the origina. Anyone have them, or would be willing to measure theirs?
Thanks!
