I know where one can get a bucket of rust: Rebuild your Atomic Four. Besides that welcome to the new owner and have fun. Spent Saturday and Sunday out sailing...
Hi Dave, welcome to the group. You got a wonderful boat! Do you have two jib halyards on the 1980 model? If you do. When you replace the mast head sheaves, be...
Thanks for the welcome and the advice. The parts for the water pump appear to be in a galley drawer and I expect I'll take care of the pump soon. The masthead...

If you are talking sheaves for the mast, better to cry once and buy the good ball bearing or metal sheaves with a spacer so you will never have to replace them...
I bought four of the ball bearing sheaves from Catalina Direct. I didn't see anything about spacers when I was ordering though. How much space do I need to...
I ordered a topping lift kit from Catalina Direct and while installing the new sheaves at the masthead, installed the wire portion. The rest of the kit...
My 85 runs the topping lift through a block on the end of the boom, attached to a 5/16 line, which runs through an eye on the boom, to keep it falling, I...

We got the mast upright and mostly tuned last night. We also put the boom on mainly so we could stand on it and reach the end of the topping lift wire. (Note...
