Sea Robin is a 1973 MkII. She has the old, heavy, clunky roller boom. Has anyone replaced the boom on a MKII? I need more outhaul, boom vang, reefing options. Other than that I am pretty happy with her. Of course I need to replace the glazed windows, but thats for another time. Thanks.
I own Oriana, a 1973 MII. I have a similar roller boom. I just recently placed an order for a new main sail. My sailmaker advised changing out the boom. He suggested to be on the lookout for a broken Tanzer 22 mast or similar. The present roller mechanism in the gooseneck prevents the sail from coming all the way back at the tack and is quite heavy. Getting proper tension and shape on the main is somewhat hampered by this cutback. I have ordered the new sail to not be cut-back at the tack and will tie it back at the cringle for now. Anyone out there with experience on building up a new boom from a broken mast?
