Racing Boom

Postby rnlivingston » Fri Jul 01, 2011 9:25 am

I recently tried to purchase a racing boom from Cape Cod Ship Builders, but they were out of them. Any suggestions of where I might find one.

Check with Selden USA (formerly Proctor). You can contact Lawton Connelly at lc@seldenus.com. Check also with APS in Annapolis at www.apsltd.com. Both are familiar with the DS mast.

Stiff and light. The stock booms will bend significantly under load.
