hi all,
too cold to sail for the next 4 months so i'm tarting up my 25 year old cat

noticed that there is some minor corrosion around the rivets on the various fittings on the heavy alloy box section boom

not bad enough to require immediate replacement but i thought if next winter i was going to drill them out, clean up the corrosion and replace them it might be worth trialling a boom made from the bottom section of a busted carbon windsurfer mast

mainly for looks i guess:-)
