Broke my last two booms which were in carbon; just switched back to alloy.
Alloy booms rarely breack (even though they can bend a bit..) and now have 26mm diameters and are pretty stiff. Maybe not as good as carbon, but for the price of one carbon boom you get 3 good alloy booms.. good for 10 years of sailing. I d rather spend more money on the mast than on the boom..

Sorry, did not answer the question..

Hey mate,

Maui Sails 140-200 wave carbon boom, super stiff, small diameter, front handle replaceable if necessary, I got pawned so many time with it and it still alive, I just bought a second one 2 weeks ago, around $990 with windsurfing shed.
