Catalina C-15 Boom Length

[bavanyo]

Hello to anyone who can help...
Does anyone know the boom lenght of the Catalina Yachts Coronado 15 (c-15)

I need to replace the boom (and all it's parts) and can't seem to be able to find the length

maybe you could measure the old one?

Just happen to have one sitting in my driveway.

Thank you

Just happen to have one sitting in my driveway.

That's perfect. Just what I needed!
Now all I have to do is find one...
Do you still sail the C-15?

More about the boom

Does anyone have a copy of the Coronado 15's owner manual?
I'd love to borrow it for a short period.

At a minimum, if you have one, might it be possible to get a photo copy of the boom's specifications?

Member Walt was kind enough to find the length for me (9'2") but I need the cross-sectional dimensions as well.

C14.2 forum - might be the closest thing to C15? http://sailingforums.com/categories/capri-14-forum.67/

I believe my boom is stock and the attached picture shows a little more detail about it. When I have boom really loaded up (I have the mid boom sheet), it bends a little and that happens exactly when you don’t want it so a boom a little beefier than stock wouldn’t hurt.

I do sail my C15 but I don’t think I can really call it a C15 any more. A few years ago, I decided to just have fun with modifying it - no rules and this was partly driven by using this boat at between 5200 and over 9000 ft elevation in the mountains. The higher you go, the faster the wind changes.

You’re using this boat on in much steadier conditions so probably wouldn’t need to do any of this sort of thing (and may like the one design aspect) but regardless, the below link shows what I’m sailing now. I’ve had this boat out maybe 30 times last year and sail it once or twice a week now.

You have a beautiful C-15. Mine's a bit faded these days...
Thanks for the help!

Thanks once again!!!!
I sent you an email before I saw this post...I hope I'm not being a pest!
You are the only one who has been able to help.
It look like it's 2 1/4" tall. Any chance you'd have the width?

This is the end of the boom, dimension are very close to 2 inch by 2.5 inch.

Have fun with the project/ boat!
