Title: Carbon Booms.
Post by: Bryn_7 on 29 May 2010, 11:14

Hello,
Does anyone know any cheap ways of making carbon booms or where carbon tubes could be bought? I'm thinking of trying to make one because the current aluminium/steel one on my 12 probably ways more than the mast.
Would carbon tubes be strong enough as well?

Thanks

I have a broken carbon mast that would do the trick, if you want to do some recycling. If you make me a token offer and collect it, it's yours!

Hi Bryn
Following our excursion to sunny Weymouth, we too have a broken Superspar that you can have once the insurance company is sorted and I've got the bits I want off it. Kicking strap loads can be an issue with a mast section but it would be worth a try.
