What price a boom?

13/05/2008 21:57

I painted my aluminium mast and boom about 5 years ago (boom was gold anodised, dating from the seventies). With the mast it has worked fairly well, the boom however has blisters at every fitting. I don't think it will last much longer.

How much is a new boom for a 31footer? The boom is about 4,5m.

I just need a rough ballpark figure. Hopefully I can transfer as many fittings as possible.

Its just a piece of alu tube, so how bad can it be. No single line reefing system, just an outhaul, lazy jacks and 2 blocks at the end for the reefs.
