Hi, Your right about the NP booms, you just need to remove the rivet
and use some brute force and the end comes off. It can then be
replaced with their adjustable outhaul tailend which has 3 internal
pulleys. Nick

Boom Question
I want to buy new carbon booms that go from 140cm to 190.
A requirement is that they have an adjustment locker
different from the twisty kind on fiberspar. (These are too
easy to undo during a duck jibe.)
I looked at Hawaiian ProLine, but they are not as stiff as
fiberspar and they are narrower. Not as stiff is a deal
breaker.
Neil Pryde has a 145 to 195, better for slightly bigger
sails, but the back end is funky. There is no place where
your clew line is captured (except the knot and the cleat)
so if you run any purchase, the line might pop out. (This
is especially critical if you're using an adjustable
outhaul, because the line is sometimes slack.) I would like
to replace the back end hardware with two simple pulleys.
Has anyone popped off this plastic piece? It looks like
just one rivet is holding it on.
Or maybe someone knows of another brand of little carbon
booms . . ..
