It took me forever to get my first jibe, and I'm still not all that good at it.
The good thing about being a crappy jiber is that it feels so GOOD when you make it around! You feel like Mr. Cool ... |

A follow-up on this....
I purchased a Chinook Pro1 Alloy boom new and am very happy with it. It rigs easily, is quite stiff, will handle pretty much all of my sails, and I am making more of my jib ... |

Thanks, Mike! The fact that you use an alloy boom says something. Do you think the Chinook Pro1 alloy is much superior to the triple clamp, and worth the extra $50 or so?
