big snip.

Capt. Neal's blue water Coronado 27 did not start life as a blue water
designed vessel. She was sold as a coastal cruiser. This designation was
more due to the limits of tankage, storage, interior layout etc. than her
ability to withstand the rigors of ocean voyaging. The good captain went
to work to shore up the few weaknesses the Coronado 27 was produced with.
more snippage

The boom has been internally
reinforced.

snipped all the rest

Can't resist it.
He claims that 'The boom has been internally reinforced'

ROFLMAO
Those of us with longer memories will recall that he broke the boom and
repaired it by shoving a bit of old pipe inside!
