Attention Oracles of Boatlandia:
RRD (now Woodie) has been picked up by her new owner, who has lined up a craftsman in Michigan to complete her re-build.
I was horrified to discover when pulling down her wooden spars from the rack in my garage that the boom one had snapped approx mid-length, with about an 8 inch diagonal tear.
Question: does anyone know where I might procure another wooden spar? Or know a source for 14’ poles?
Bigger question: would nice flexible Thixo wood tone suffice to mend the snapped spar?
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
