Boom section

I used a sabre mast section and it works pretty well. If you cut the track off the flat is great for an outhaul slot. I used a dyneema loop around the entire boom like the A class plenty of room for internal running of mast rotation and outhaul.

Thanks I had herd that this just confirms what was said

cheers

I'm just trying out a discarded broken Laser top section.
So far so good. It bends more than the Sabre/Arrow mast though.

It doesn't get any cheaper than that!

50mm round section.... $36 for 9 metres

Hey Simon, what wall thickness for the 50mm round tube? Cheers

1.6 I think. I can measure it tomorrow if you like.

Cheers

1.6 sounds right cheers 😉

we have used 50mm x 1.6mm ally on all our boats until we went carbon about 5 seasons ago. never had any issues with the ally sections or carbon ones for that matter. carbon section is smaller again than the ally.

Hi all,

my latest is Mossie mast with track cut off, light and stiff (I have centre sheeting).

Hi Damo,

Mine is a sabre mast section with the end cut off the top. I have end boom sheeting.
