[quote=klozhald]Noticed a guy at the lake who used a 2 x 4 as a boom on his 16. Real proud of it. When he came ashore in the afternoon, the boom had split lengthwise, starting at the eye bolt he used for the clew. The split resulted in two long, very pointy pieces aimed at the lee side of his cat, one end puncturing his trampoline.
I pointed out that if his kid was crewing on the lee side when that 2 x 4 split, it could have impaled him with considerable force.
The man's proud smile faded.
