MAST CAR & PAD EYE RING DIAMETER
Many masts on boats built through the 70's and early 80"s
came with mast pad eyes or ring cars for attachment on the
spinnaker pole. These were fixed eyes or sliding cars with
relatively small ring diameters. Some were as small as 1.000"
I.D.
Forespar® "ULTRA" series end
fittings (both the UXP and UTR style) require a minimum of
1.500" I.D. rings for proper function. If the ends are
used on rings less then 1.500" I.D. the jaws ("beak")
can bind-up in the rings and with the leverage of an 8' pole,
(or longer!) the ends will fail.
This
is not the fault of the end fittings. A proper sized ring
will avoid this and allow the ends to freely move under spinnaker
pole compression loads as needed.
Forespar® offers S/S mast pad eyes (PE-3-SF
& PE-3-SC) and sliding ring cars (RC-125) with 1.625"
I.D. rings for use with our end fittings. Lesser diameter
rings should be changed-out to avoid potential failure to
ends due to insufficient clearance. Forespar®
will not warrant ends that fail due to improperlysized rings
on the mast.
