I broke my boom during the Savannah Cup Race this past weenkend and am in need of a replacement. I have tried and tried to overlook Rigrite's continued poor attitude and business practices and I refuse to give them any of my money they have got to be the rudest most unprofessional organization I have ever contacted in my 42+ years. Does any one have a good source for a replacement boom I belieave the Dwyer DM 450 is a match to the Kenyon E Section Old Style.Please help me avoid Rigrite.

Try Hall Spars. They are a class approved source. Info is on the Equipment Supplier's page. You can ask for Corey Butlin who works there and used to own Bltiz. He fabricated a new boom overnight when it broke at one of the past NAs!

No rules about the internal sleeve. I recommend using one to strengthen by the vang attachment.

I have a replacement boom for you

I put the sleeve in my original boom and am good to go
I will be home tomorrow and can get pics for you
Interested?

Hi. Please. Call me. I want this boom to go to a good home.
I recommend the sleeve be installed in to bolster the vang area in addition.
I did mine and am completely confident now.
248-693-0229
I paid $250. You can have it for that.
It is complete with both end fittings
Need to figure out the shipping
