today I had to rig a sail I do not use often. What a hassel, the ends
of my alum. booms where stuck again. these are the kind of booms with
the spring loaded pins. Can anyone make a recommendation for a boom
that is less prone to getting stuck? I often sail on the cost, and am
concerned about durability of the boom in the waves. (I have never
broken a boom before, but have broken my mast a couple of times. In
general, I only go out if the waves are fairly small)
thanks in advance
Andy
