Need 27 gooseneck photo

[wes]

Hey 27 guys - could someone post or email me a photo showing the gooseneck area where boom attaches to mast? I have searched high and low on this site and the internet with no luck.

Hi Wes:
I'll take a few pictures of them tomorrow. Have a spare mast and boom stored along side my garage.

Hi Wes:
Have your pictures but your email is hidden. Have not posted a picture here in years. What do you want me to get them to you?

Wes,

Charlie and Bruce responded, bless their hearts. I'm good now.

A bit late...but here you go...





...for some reason I can't make them bigger...

I am curious, are they Kenyon Spars?

Mac - good question. There is no brand name anywhere on the spars as far as I can tell. They have Johnson Sails stickers on them, which I assume meant that Johnson was the OEM distributor to Hutchins but probably didn't actually make them. I have seen some clues on the internet that the spars were made by Isomat (including what may be an Isofurl furler) but in some ways the cross section of the boom doesn't match the Isomat shapes posted on the Rig-Rite web site.

A mystery.

There is an Isomat boom on my 1988 27 that does not look like this.
