I just got a 2005 Windwing Formula Race 10.0 that calls for a 520/33 mast and a mid/max 272-277 boom and found out that I landed just a notch outside of aluminum boom range.

Good or bad, I am now shopping for the pieces to build a large rig.  The manufacturer, Windwing, matches their sails with Gulftech but their masts and booms are for loaded pros and not weekend wind warriors, like myself.

So looking around for the pieces I found a Fiberspar 220-278 carbon boom and a 75% carbon 4800 QT mast.  If you have, however, a mast and a boom with similar specs please contact me at 724.713.0455 or use the Contact Us form on the PAW pages with your offer.

One other aspect that was brought to my attention is that buying a decent boom and stretching it all the way to the end does not make good sense as the stiffness of the boom will be compromised.  I was advised to go to the next larger size to keep things in proper balance.

Thanks for looking,
