Grumpf, you could order a 505 Carbon boom from P&B but this is set up for a conventional kicker. Try speaking to aardvarke boats http://www.aardvarkracing.co.uk/spars-and-tubes and get them to make you one to your specification. I have talking with Terry about building me a 505 boom, they offer a bespoke product at a very good price!!

B14 booms are alloy. So no good for your carbon quest.

So, I need to do something about the Alto boom, the mast is carbon, the gnav is about rotted away and the gooseneck is a round section. So either I need to search classes that have a similar fixture or cobble something together.
In an ideal world I'd like an upside down version of the RS100/300 wheels on the Gnav doo dah only maybe run the wheels on the boom, but first I need to order it all up. Ordering booms online is tricky given there is no such thing as 'spare boom for Mk 1 Alto' you can just go 'add to basket'. So I guess it's locate some carbon tube then find all the bits and self assemble. Or does anyone know different? (with links if poss.) Ian (foxwell) mentioned just get yourself a Superspars boom , but which one is the question, what classes use them. I did wonder about B14 booms but they're conventional kicker, which I'd like to avoid if possible.
