The point is that I want a sexy round one without skull creasing corners!

The budget option - at least at larger clubs - is when dinghy park clearance time comes around. Rotting heaps in the darkest corners of the dinghy park may yet deliver useful spar sections. The boom on my vintage Cherub is a nice round 3" section courtesy of a rotted Fireball, and a reasonable size mast section will always make a decent enough boom, even if you end up with a track you don't need. My vintage Moth has a boom that looks as if it could have been something like an Enterprise spar.

if we are going down that route, is not any boom not supplied by the builder not allowed in the class rules? if tick wants a round boom should he not be saving his pennies and buying a new boom and mast from john? the lightning is a one design after all. i can see why tick would want a round boom, i still have a dent in my head from the last time 333s boom hit me!

A new boat would need a new boom from Claridge, but an old Giles boat is allowed any boom that fits the class dimensions.

Now look, I only club race. I get my national sailing hit from another source. My friends locally would be happy for me to build a foiling Lightning as long as I continue to come in the bottom 5% of the fleet....which I will do.
