Bubbles, you haven't answered the question: what is the difference
between a Hoyt boom and any other type? It's very simple and easy.

Doug, you're not going to shift the discussion, Doug. Anyone can go
look up the info on the Hoyt boom. You made this post, which makes NO
sense.

Or maybe
you simply don't know enough about sailing to recognize the
difference
between the Hoyt boom and a plain ol' staysail boom.

As I pointed out to Joe, he could use a system like that of the IP or
Alerion. They are the same unit with only a slight mod for deck camber
on some other boats. Joe's question about a staysail boom does not
exclude bringing in the model used on the Alerion.
Now that you know this (AFTER I posted that Island Packet uses it for
their staysails!), you're sadly trying to shift the focus. It aint
working.
Joe asked a question and got answers. You had nothing useful to add.

For anyone interested in Hoyt staysail or jib booms, CDI/Furlex
furlers and sails (exotic or otherwise) you can e-mail for technical
info and the better prices. In fact, I can beat any price of typical
online lofts and the sails won't come from China.
Why would any of this interest Doug, who is a powerboater, is anyone's
guess.

OMG, why would anyone ever consider buying sails
from a clueless newbie. I need to call down there and
tell those folk how much business he is driving away.
