the selden boom is much stiffer than the sparcraft however you wouldn't want a bulletproof boom since that will look totally sh*tty and is useless.

Hi Iemand
I have a Selden mast and Boom, I must say it looks the business, I am very pleased with Selden, I had an unplesant gype in 20 kn of wind the SELDEN boom took it on the chin no problem, however I have since added a gype brake that works wonders just to make sure it won't happen again.

Hello
I broke my boom right off at the sheeting point. We were going down wind with full main in 20 knots wind. We were running the spinnaker and had flattened the main as much as possible. No gybe, nothing, it just snapped. It's definitely to weak, racing experience or not. But the New tube was only 1500 euro so not a big deal, apart from the work.
