Garry Posted March 10, 2004 Posted March 10, 2004 I was getting ready to start the boom last night when I realized the material that I bought for it is only 8 ft. long. I just didn Quote
Garry Posted March 11, 2004 Author Posted March 11, 2004 Just a thought... Could a whisker pole do double duty and be used as the boom also? I'm not sure how the vang or mainsheet would attach. Quote
Designer Posted March 11, 2004 Posted March 11, 2004 Gary, it is a cute idea but it is more of a compromise than I would accept. You are going to need hardware firmly attached in their appropriate positions, such as tack fitting/ gooseneck, boom vang, 2 sheet positions, outhaul and 2 cheek blocks for your single line reefing.

Garry Posted March 11, 2004 Author Posted March 11, 2004 I thought that might be the case. I think that I will just have to deal with the length. Thanks, Garry Quote
