I am having a local fabrication shop replicate the A-frame paravane tube size on boats such as HOBO. I understood the A-frame was 3 inch schedule 80
6061-T-6 aluminim, and the outrigger poles were 2 inch schedule 80. They claim that if they use 2.5 inch schedule 40 for both, it will be plenty strong. Should I believe them? They also think a stainless plate, aft of the mast but connected to the mast with pop rivets, will be much better than a collar around the mast, to join the A-frames.
Thanks for your opinions.
