UP You'rs Muffin Man,

Learn to read!! I said there is nothing wrong with a bent Boom. I even
gave examples of curved booms in use.

It is the weight of the Boom that is the problem. Do you comprehend what
I'm saying? The Weight. The Boom and the Sails are the moving part of
the boat that go out board of the vessel. They produce Heeling Force.
Heeling is not a good force and excessive heeling is bad!

Go back and read with an open mind and learn.

If an apology is in order I would say you owe me one
