I have two booms that I will give away to
anyone who can put them to use. Both and wood, with SS tracks. Length's are each 10'. Includes bails, blocks, gooseneck fittings. These would be good for a light schooner like Tadpoles, or some sort of a homemade boat. |

In Neal's case, it doesn't matter, since he no longer has a boat. It was hit
by lightning, and even before that, it was on a mooring for his entire existance in the keys. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "Captain Joe Redcloud" wrote in message ...
