The only one's i can find online that look right are about $80 a piece !!! :-O

I picked up some scrap Pipe thats about 8 feet in length by 8" ID, or 8.5" outside Dia. would love to make these into a jib and main sail tubes! Any of you guys do the DIY approach to this? Looks like it would turn out amazing with a little work 😀

Try supply houses that sell drainage tubes. I know they make that bumpy black drain pipe in 8'. U dont need any thing as heavy as the pipe for the cap. Actually, the correct cap would be a pain in the A** to take on and off cuz it is a snug fit.. Might even look for a plastic bucket that would fit snugly...H
