Appreciate the update and info!
Looking through my saved images, mostly from this group, I do see one
example of that on someone else's boat (attached). I imagine a lot of
riggers looked at that and thought "huh, wonder why they did that",
then promptly changed it.
Not being crossed over didn't immediately or otherwise cause me
problems I know of, fwiw.
And hope you're sorted out and sailing again before long.

EDIT, Chris Ranney, Tartan Customer Service replied in one day to my web contact question...¡°T27 Spreaders are 1¡± OD, 5/8¡± ID. My T27 #314 only has notches at the spreader end for the upper shroud to run through which I then secure with seizing wire. We have the mast from T27 #295 here at the moment, it appears to have a solid plug welded into the end with a groove machined into it for the shroud.
I can confirm that the upper shroud is designed to be attached to the inboard chainplate. Lowers go outboard. This arrangement allows for a slightly tighter lead on the genoa sheets.¡±
Initial Post for Type 1 hull...
To those now on the hard...please help me with spreader dimensions where end cap fits in? Both cap shrouds pulled out in a good wind with new sails. And these upper shrouds were pinned to outer chain plates. I¡¯d read the corrections here, but didn¡¯t look at mine.
In Kerr Lake, N Carolina. Learning lots here from many posts. Thanks for your generosity.
