Subject: Stus-List Boom Bail for 30-2

Hi all,

 

We were headed out for the last race of the season Saturday and as we loaded up 
the main for the first time, the fitting on the boom that  attaches to the main 
sheet snapped off our 30-2.  This was a single eye attached to a plate riveted 
to the inside of the boom.  I suspect this probably just weakened over time and 
happened to give out at the weld.   It was quite windy, but at that point the 
stresses on the mainsheet weren’t out of the ordinary since we were just 
motoring out of the harbor.  No other damage to the boat and no harm to the 
crew as a result of this, so it could have been much worse.

 

Now the issue is how to find a replacement.  Anyone have an idea if these are 
available off the shelf or have another idea for replacement?  RigRite does not 
recognize it.  I have also contacted Offshore Spars, who I believe made the rig 
originally and helped me out with a boom vang bracket last year. RigRite has 
one that is similar size but with a different hole pattern that I probably 
could make work, but still hoping for a true replacement if I can get one.  
Thanks for your help!
