Boom for columbia 26

Would anyone have advice for replacing a boom on my Columbia 26? Snapped it in half. I have spoken to a number of marine surplus stores to no avail.

Thanks for any advice.

Hi Don, thanks so much for getting back to me. I'm sure we can reach an agreement on a price it is the shipping that has me concerned. I am in Hood River Oregon. 1 hour east of Portland. Where are you?

thanks again!

Hi Don, no problem, glad you were sailing wish I was.
Is your boom a Kamet Egg shaped extrusion apprx. 3inches tall and 2 inches wide at the bottom? Does the boom have a sail feed for the foot up at the goose neck? Do you have a digital camera you could take a snap and email to me. I can send you a photo of my broken boom and you could let me know if they are similar. What is your email address? I would like to send you a photo of my boat "wings". Mine is kevindonald@gorge.net
Thanks
Kevin

Before I purchased the used boom from Don, I contacted Ballenger Spars, http://www.sfsailing.com/ballengerspars/
He can make a new one but it is not cheap.
