Good points, but what are the records for these products?
Also, how do you adjust the clew on your Gulftech boom? I find I need
to add an inch of outhaul to my sailworks after sailing a bit if the
wind comes up to really extend the upper end and It took 3 or 4 of us in
the Gorge to adjust the clew of one of their team riders on a Roberts
board and Sailworks sails with GulfTech boom. I have a hard time
finding that many friends to help me when the wind is cranking....8-)
Also, I've talked to people that have broken those as well......
I sail Sailworks masts, but used to use Fiberspar and they've done well
by me. Then again, I NEVER store my masts in the sun and make sure I'm
careful to not nick them......
