Randy, that's a great story...I love happy endings! I did something similar a few years back; I transported a 12 ft spinnaker pole from Fla. to our home in Kentucky on the roof of a small car. It was really fun going down the interstate and yelling gybe the pole...! Richard s/v Bushmark4: 1085 C&C 37 CB: Ohio River, Mile 596;

Hi Chuck, Yes, we saw a bunch of kiteboarders and windsurfers on the sound side of Hatteras near Avon. We were there during a gale warning - the ferries even shut down. Regarding the boom, I looked on Selden’s website for dealers in the US and contacted a half-dozen of them. I learned that shipping a new boom to Colorado was going to cost me $1K (yes, seriously). Meanwhile I already had a three-week trip planned with my travel trailer to the Florida panhandle (St. George Island State Park, fantastic place), St. Augustine where a race week was happening coincidentally, Charleston, the Outer Banks, and home via Nashville and Lake of the Ozarks. Omar Sails in New Bern, NC is a Selden dealer and was one of the half-dozen I contacted. Craig Beavers there was by far the most responsive and helpful of all the dealers I contacted. He told me there is a Selden manufacturing site in Charleston, and confirmed I could pick up the boom there myself and transport it home in my travel trailer (which has 24’ finished space). So I ordered the boom from Craig, and stopped at Selden about a week ago and met the guys who built it, and we stuffed it into my trailer. It was an obvious and easy way to save $1K in shipping. Annapolis was not on the itinerary for this trip, but thanks for the offer! Cheers, Randy
