Default, messy idea is to use an abs plastic elbow and wrap with carbon fibre tape and resin. Would that work... or is there a 'stock' carbon item that would be reasonable? Suggestions welcome!

Two uprights approx 900mm, cross bar at top approx 400mm supporting a short section of mainsheet track and traveller. Must be able to withstand shock loadings (and me hanging on to it when I lose control of the boat!) of approx 70kg. Hope that makes sense. Here is a picture of one without track: https://goo.gl/images/i59tCn
