Not the ones separating the hulls and holding the tramp, but the crossbar (sorry I don't know the correct name) at the bow, the stay?shroud? From the mast anchors to it and the furler for the jib. Its old and has corroded and finally snapped in two. I have a new one on order but was wondering if I could sail the boat without it?
I plan to try attaching all the wires and stays to same anchor points so I'll have a more acute triangle at the front like a Hobie 16 as far as a can tell this spreader helps to keep the bow ends apart. But for light sailing in the meantime might be ok.
