Hi Bubs

What's that cover do that's straped to the the end of your boom (mast end) ?

That's a good idea. Coincidently, I was thinking about how to protect the tip of my
board in the event of a catapult. I'll have to get one.

Hi Bubs. My boards nose sticks up and the mast hits it. I've done a few square on
catapults now and have already put a small ding on the nose. It's only a matter of time
before it gets broken.

lol yeah my dad went through that stage badly. if thats the case it might be worth you putting some sort of padding down the mast underneath the boom to stop that... may not look to special but worth saving the nose of your board!!!

Just a thought.

I was over in WA recently & was getting my mate back into sailing. He was prone to the odd catapult & so much to his disgust, I duct-taped a 2 litre milk bottle to the nose of the board. It looked too cool! It even earned him the nickname "bottle-boy" amongst the local crew. But his protests subsided when one of his catapults managed to blow the bottle top off at great speed after a wicked catapult. No damage to the board. I'm thinking of marketing it
