I have a windsurf hawaii boom and I have problems with the boom
slipping down on the mast. I have a skinny mast and have tried two
different kinds of mast shims. One was a metal shim but the boom slip
constantly on that one. The other is a clear pieces of Polyvinyl
tubing but I still get some slippage on that. Does anyone have a
suggestion?
