I've recently discovered that my boom -- bought with a new boat last summer -- has a permanent bend aft of the vang fitting.
Anyone else seen this before? I do sail in windy places (the Gorge, SF), I sail several days a week, and we use a lot of vang.
But I don't remember any of my previous booms doing this. Wondering if there might've been a manufacturing or other issue with last year's spars in North America.
