I don't know. I guess I missed it. I can't imagine using glue
to fill stress cracks.

What was that fool talking about when he mentioned
glue (Resourcinol) to fill stress cracks then?

Huh? The Catalina had a alum mast.

Goes to show you can't rely on wood.

It was a mast, not a boom, and it happened to one of my
students, not I.

How does one properly set the sails with boom being bent
or does it matter--after hearing what happened to Ganz, that's a
scary
thought.

Wouldn't a good sailor replace a bent, and probably weakened
spar
before
ordering a new set of sails?

Here's a pic showing the CLEARLY damaged boom of Capt. Neal's
worn
out
Coronado

It's clearly compromised. Also clearly bent in this photo...

What a disaster. What a shame. What an eyesore! Why not add a
new
ugly
colored
set of cushions to that boat to top it off? Oh...you already
did.
