Brian,
It is a 1962 Columbia 29, hull #39.
The spreader tip has a aluminum fitting that goes around the sides of the wooden spreader tip. It goes around the end and down the sides of the tip for 2 inches, and is secured by two 1/4 inch aluminum rivets that go completely through the spreader and fitting, and at the very end has a notch 1/2 inch deep to hold the shrould.
It wouldn't be difficult to install a small diameter ss machine screw in place of a cotter pin as the retainer on the end.
And I will lash it down after acheiving the proper angle. It wasn't lashed before and just held in place by tension of the shroud.

I was looking at the knipex catalog on line and didn't see anything refering to "Magic Pliers" Were you refering to the small channel lock type pliers they have?
