Thanks to all for the information, I will probably call Garhauer tomorrow; I
still do not understand what would cause the metal to break; there was no
stress or pull on it, certainly no gybing going on; could just cold weather
cause such a break?

An unintended jibe broke mine. After talking to some welders, who said the cast
metal was hard to work with, I had a local guy fabricate one out of stainless
(all that about 15 years ago) - it still looks new.

We had garhauer make a new one in stainless when we put the solid vang on
.... Not a fan of cast aluminum for the reason you saw

I went to the boat to check on things and while standing on the frozen dock
I sensed that something wasn't right but nothing seemed out of the ordinary
until it dawned on me that the boom was laying on the top of the cabin; the
outboard end was hanging by the topping lift but the inboard end was laying
at the base of the mast! I looked at it and found that the black metal part
that goes in the goose neck was broken into pieces and the broken part of
the "ring" was still in the goose neck with the bolt intact....I can only
assume that it somehow froze and snapped? We have had the same cold spell
as the rest of the country, (single digits, etc.); and some windy nights,
but I have no idea how a one inch wide and half inch thick piece of metal
just "broke"; nonetheless, can this be repaired? welded? or should I look
for a new one? The boom is original to the boat; 1985 37 CB; any ideas?
Thanks
