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 . . ..
