I am replacing my broken spin pole with a new Sunfish upper boom (which is made by Selden masts) which is approx 13 feet 9 inches. It is just about 2 feet longer than the normal length of the original pole. I am considering leaving the extra length to attach a GoPro camera at the end. I would put all fittings at the normal positions (which I am researching now)
Does anyone have any concerns or opinions. At this point, I am 69 years old and just do recreational sailing, and do not race.
I do follow this site and respect the opinions and knowledge that it offers.
