Next step: Gluing the boom fork

The main part of the boom, the stick, is now closed and coated in epoxi. The next step is to glue the "fork", which will hold it on to the mast. Very much in the same fashion as the gaff. The difference being that the boom is much longer, with 4 meters, and hollow, so that I can pass the leechline and reefline through it.

A lovely feature of this new boom is, that it is surprisingly light. I dare say, that it weights about 5kg. But I'm not sure. Certainly not more than 6kg... One of these days I'll remember to bring a scale, so that I can give some more precise information.
