Aluminum spar manufacturer in PNW?

[PDX]

I need a new boom. I was referred to a company called Spar Tech in the Seattle area, but they apparently are no longer in business.

I have an Ericson 30-1 but I am not looking for a drop in replacement. I need something heftier. The boat has a low aspect rig with long (13+ feet) boom and I am converting to mid boom sheeting. I also want to change the gooseneck from sliding to fixed.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

Found this on Google, and no web site listed....

Plan B is to contact Buzz at
http://www.ballengerspars.com/

I have spoken to him a couple of times, but have not used his company's services yet.
Others that have had masts and booms fabricated there say the quality is excellent.

Best,
Loren

That number doesn't work for Spar Tech (I woke some guy up who says he has gotten lots of calls for them). Their former web site has been taken over by a different business. Assumed they called it quits.

Ballenger looks interesting. I will give them a try.

Thanks, Loren.
