My spreaders don't match (55 year old boat) and the guy down the gangway with a somewhat newer fiberglass boat don't match by even more. We both sail. Probably good to have them match but also good to go sailing. Oh, and in the process of trying to figure out what was going on with my rigging I discovered that the mast was off to starboard by an inch. Cut that way in the cabin top and that way for 55 years. Fleet champion and way faster than most of the L-36s around. Go figure. My point: it is a boat , not an astronomical telescope.
