Hi all,
can anyone recommend an alloy boom for a light 55kg female sailor. Really after the lightest stiffest boom ( without going carbon). Only needs to cover sails from about 4.2 to 5.3 max. Maybe with a thin diameter ? I think loft was doing a monocoque boom but not sure if these are available on the east coast anymore?

cheers

I use a Aeron reduced diameter, have had it for years. I use sails from 3.7 to 4.7.

Maybe a secondhand hybrid boom for stiffness?
Or a vee grip as they are stiffer for an ally boom
