Guys,
what if you got an appropriate length of 2 1/2'' PVC pipe from Cheapo depot, monokoted it, waxed it and then laid up some 3 oz glass cloth over that to cover around 200 degrees of circumference. This will weigh very little and you can make it as long as necessary

Sounds like a good alternative. Still would have to hog out the formers to make it fit.
