BLUEMOMENT

Does anyone happen to know what sort of price I would pay for a new boom for a westerly storm 33 (12' 6" boom length)?
I have tried online but can't find anywhere which gives a price.
I just bought one, fantastic condition (as new) for £100, Identical, with 3 reefing lines etc.
I just want to tell Mrs P how much I saved, rather than spent. We will then see if female logic works in reverse !

£565 (price 4 yrs ago)

You've saved £971.

pluck the number - never round it off but make it mildly interesting and of course as the coup d'etat - should the eyes of your beloved not be amazed in wonderment and her jaw, firmly dropped by this heady tale of business acumen with the skills that a trained hostage negotiator would envy - hit her with the final slab - "Plus - I avoided paying vat as I paid cash" - this will have an even bigger effect in January when it pops back up to 17.5% and if you could hold out for another couple of months it may well indicate a saving in real terms of 20%.

Oh go for it ... £1,451 .. another prime number, I think, not that, necessarily, the Laird considered such to be an essential argument in his past battles ...

£17,371.63 cos the new booms don't fit your mast and you would have had to get a new mast and rigging as well as new sails, plus a crane and labour and rig tuning ..

This display of lateral thinking just gets better - do you fancy a change of boat?
