Rick Easy Hercules!!! Holly Cow I thought I felt some seismic activity the other night...probably you exploding your poor boom. Keep blowing stuff up like that and I'll have ocean front property and you'll need that boat to visit any of the other lower "47" states. Where were you when I was beating the stinking keel out of our boat??? My rudder has a little bit of warp in it, now I'm scared that when we finally get together for our first sail I'll walk behind my trailer and find you with two spinters in your hands and a sheepish grin on your face!!!. (but stay away from my rudder) :-) Only kidding!!! I'm the guy who always puts the perverbial "last turn" on the bolt just to make sure its....SNAP!
Ok enough of that Try Minneys Yacht Surplus in Cost Mesa, CA. These guys have used everything and usually for great prices. I'll bet they have some broken masts that they would cut a piece off of. Here's their website. www.minneysyachtsurplus.com Sailors that live in this neck of the woods make it a point to go to this place when in Socal. You never know what the heck you'll find. A lot of the stuff they handle is for boats bigger than ours but I bet if you call them them they could hook you up. Might be worth a call if you can't find something closer.
