Hello fellow Sunfishers.
I noticed today that corrosion has eaten through the upper boom about one foot below where I have the halyard tied. Have a look at the pictures.
My question is, is the boom likely to fold the next time I go sailing in any kind of a breeze, or will it last like it is for sometime to come? Also when these booms break, do they usually bend or do they break into two pieces. Having it bend is obviously a lot less destructive than if it breaks in half.
Let me know what you think.
