Carbon spinnaker pole lamination

When the spinnaker pole end fitting looks like this...
it is about time to replace it.
This happens because of corrosion between carbon and aluminium.
End of carbon pole is usually inflated because of
corrosion pushing and cracking away pole end.
it needs to be re-laminated... faired and painted
Final result with new Sparcraft mast end fitting.
A sheet of Tufnol™ has been added around fitting to insulate carbon and aluminium.
