| Spliced Boom
I recently spliced the corroded ends from my main boom and had welded one replacement end (about 9" from both ends-put back a 24" piece) back. Question is--which end should go back on toward the mast (spliced or not), my main sheet is attached to the END of the boom. Boom is aluminum, caps are stainless; boom is about 15 foot with a 40 foot mast. Where is the stress or/and should I sleeve the boom incase of failure. Thanks in advance.
