A 42-foot catamaran owner constructs a custom wooden boom following hand-drawn plans from Hanneke Boon and James Wharram.0:38 The build involves laminating hardwood strips to a softwood core, shaping the structure with a hand plane, and applying a fairing compound to address surface imperfections.0:50 The builder reinforces the boom with two layers of fiberglass, adding extra layers at the mast attachment point and reefing locations.8:12 To manage costs, the builder repurposes pulleys from salvaged blocks, fabricating custom aluminum bushings to fit the reefing points and outhaul.15:58 A Dyneema attachment point is installed for the topping lift, with rounded edges to minimize chafe.18:51 The project concludes with mounting the gooseneck to the aluminum mast using heavy-duty stainless steel screws, though the builder seeks feedback on the structural adequacy of screws versus pop rivets for this application.26:03 The boom is finished with epoxy and paint to improve mainsail shape and power.18:33
