Has anybody tried replacing the carbon front end of a Fiberspar All Carbon
boom? I bought a carbon front end replacement kit, but the instructions are
for replacing an aluminum front end with a carbon front end. The main
difficulty is how to remove the old carbon front end from the carbon boom
spars; they are epoxied together and I'm not sure of the best way to
seperate them.

BTW, I bought this Fiberspar All Carbon boom in April '98 and it now has
signficant cracks in the front end. We can put a man on the moon but still
can't build a boom that lasts more than a few of my typical windsurf seasons
....
