Thanks for the tip, Nick. To remove the rivet, do you drill through
it, with a drill bit the size of the center? Do you order the other
tailend from NP directly?

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

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 . .
