Steampunk Lugsail Land Windsurfer

Step 6Wooden Wishbone Boom

Wooden Wishbone Boom
The sail worked well with the commercial aluminum wishbone boom, so I decided to make an "authentic" wooden one.

I laminated the front curved parts of the boom from some fir studwood.
The straight tail part is redwood, attached to the front with a stepped scarf and a lashing.
The boom has a keyed block lashed on at the front and simpler block lashed on at the tail to complete the teardrop-hoop shape.
