I just had to make a momentary return!!! Pics of Neal's cheap looking bargain
basement sails are reason enough! I note that he's careful to keep that BENT
BOOM out of the shots, but he left this one in!!!

Not only in the boom bent (with NO repair evident as the same old tired finish
is visible straight across), but the sail appears baggy beyond it's cut due to
the bend/damage. Of course he rarely sails, but why add even cheap sails to a
compromised spar?
The man is a raging idiot.

Take care and enjoy yourselves....

It'll beat your slow coach with the OLD sails. With the new
sails I think J/24s are not totally beneath me. I'm gonna go
looking for a J/30 or two just to humiliate them.

Hey Booby I took a picture of the cut and repaired boom just
to shut your fat ass up because I know you would come out
of hiding to complain about it.

Why not go to sea with it? There are pipes inside that you cannot be
seen. Somebody once said a sleeve is the best repair. Well, it just so
happens I put a sleeve INSIDE where it cannot be seen in the form
of one large diameter pipe to fit the bottom side of the boom and two
smaller pipes to fit the spaces above that were left open in the egg-
shaped boom. I even consulted an engineer friend and he assured
me my repair was stronger than the rest of the boom.

You idiots hate it because it was done for less than twenty bucks
and it is BETTER than new.

I'm just worried about the salt on those galvanized pipes -that's an
awful big crack! Hey, why not get a new boom -you can probably get an
old one or broken mast to cut to size!

Don't be concerned. The crack is filled with silicone sealant and I even
went to the trouble to v-shape the groove in the boom to make sure any
water that wanted to collect in the channel would just drip out. No water
gets into the crack as it is totally sealed. Don't you see on the very bottom
that there is no indent? No rust or corrosion is evident after over ten years.

The repair is bonafide!

S.Simon - knows how things work

JEEEZZZZZZZZZZE along with those 3 strand halyards that boat still has those
old blocks with the fibre (cardboard) cheeks. I've only seen those on old
boats at the marina that were being chainsawed and thrown into a dumpster.

No, the best repaire is a proper unbroken boom! The crack is NOT even! Clearly
COMPRESSED at the top and pulling apart at the base.
Have another look!

Sorry to rain on your parade, even if said parade is very cheap sails on
damaged spars!
