Boom cracked at boom vang attachment: I'd get it welded and ask for some reinforcement like an aluminum pipe be welded or screwed inside to spread the load of the vang. You have a chance to make the thing stronger, take it. If you replace it, I'd highly recommend Selden. My personal favori

I'll be there earlier. There will probably be a parking problem, as SYSCO has combined their awards banquet with OCSA's. Look for me when you arrive, and I'll look at your boom if it's convenient. Alan On Thu, Nov 3, 2016 at 10:00 AM, Fred Hazzard via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: >

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. Fre

I would not recommend welding. There is a lot of force on the boom at the boom bang attachment point so my recommendation is to get a replacement. Mine broke during a race because of a small crack I had not seen. Interestingly my rigger suggested the boom section (the original boom) was not strong
