A while back, I posted this:
Apparently, the max. width is 26mm
Sailcenter has issued a letter to the people who recently bought a new boom. Due to a mistake in the factory, a number of booms have a strap that's wider than 26mm. Check your boom strap to prevent rejection when your boom is measured.

Tomorrow, the first race of the European Championship U19 in Kalamaki (Athens) will start around noon. Measurement was yesterday and today. According to my son (who went through the measurement without any problem), the check was very, very strict this year. Standing next to him was a sailor who's boom was rejected because...
...the boom strap halfway down the boom (that guides the sheet from block to block) was too wide(!)
First, I didn't know that there was a rule for that. Second, why should you want to alter that strap? Third: when we buy a boom, we don't check the lenght/width of that boom strap!
