I have the drop lever boom on my boat and it works quite well! My question to all you sq.owners is could the size of the boom be reduced to save some weight. Mine looks to be a Prindle 19 section or a 5.2 section. i have seen many of the new cats,(some with much more sail area) using very small booms. With the drop lever I don't think we put that much for & aft stress on the tube. Hope you all chime in.This has been a good 18 sq discussion. (Very far and few between)
