BOOM There she goes
I had a ZSpars boom on my 445 Beneteau , in Oct we were enjoying a beautiful sail, 25-30 knots, 8-10 foot waves, while on a tack and a large wave to stern the boom snapped by the boom vang, scare the beeJesus out of us.
After reading blogs and forums and information from fellow boaters I found ZSpars has a reputation for this happening, so be careful, inspect often for corrosion etc. The people at Klacko Spars in Oakville Ontario CA, came to my rescue with a superior quality boom in time for boys sailing weekend.
Thanks Klacko Spars , my confidence has returned.
Thought I would give you a plug for quality and customer service.
If your in need of replacing a boom or mast
