O'Day Daysailer 3 Lake Hopatcong
Yesterday, while sailing in some strong winds, the boom on my Daysailer 3 snapped in half right at the main sheet bail. I'm looking for a replacement or best way to repair. Any suggestions of where to look

New boom in the future.
Alternatively you could get a sleeve and have the sleeve welded in place.

Booms were not designed to have point stress in their middle. It is less force on applied to the boom if it is controlled at the end.
