Alan, my boom had been welded in the same place. The weld broke. I had a large fiberglass and carbon boot made that was epoxied in place. So far all good after almost 10,000 miles. I think if you can have crack welded and then a plate formed and welded over the area it is cheaper solution.

It extends across the boom for about an inch on each side of the boom, and it's located just aft of the vang attachment. The attachment is made out of aluminum, and it looks like the welds are also cracked. Has anyone on the list experienced this? Can the boom be repaired, or will I need a new boom? > > -- > Alan Bergen > 35 Mk III Thirsty > Rose City YC > Portland, OR > > _______________________________________________ > > This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
