Brian,
Which part? I'm not sure a single picture would be sufficient unless I know
the exact point on which to focus.

Many pointed out that the farther out to the end of the boom, the better.
Strong bail attached beyond 2/3 length should work. Or a loop of a line or a
webbing (Velcro?).
But as important is to attach the other end of the prevented. The further
forward, the better. Generally, you want to have an

The real risk to breaking the boom mid mount are uncontrolled jibes and and/or
planting the boom in the water whilst doing same. The former can happen
anytime..the later usually offshore. Plan accordingly.

Yes, what he said. We always used a four to one tackle, I think the same
same one. Snapshackles on both ends, which made it quick to attach. Only
difference being, not attache at the end. I used a sparcraft boom which
had a nice track in the bottom. So, with a slide and a bail welded to it,

I agree with Matt that breaking the boom seems relatively unlikely. In the
past, I have also made off to the boom bail myself. One advantage to using
a mid-boom attachment is that it facilitates keeping the preventer inside

Good advice regarding both the under deck support and the running back
stays. Both the staysail stay and the runners can be stored aft and forward
when not being used.

FWIW, Garmin purchased Nexus a few years ago and sadly is phasing it out.
Garmin can be difficult to deal with as I don’t believe Nexus support is a
priority. If you find the right person (which requires some effort), Garmin
does provide some technical support, such as a great replacement prog
FWIW, I’m using Microsoft Outlook on a Windows 10 computer. I experienced

Although Josh and Andy do it “right,” unless you’re sailing in
relatively heavy air (25 knots and up) I suspect it is unlikely you will break
the boom using the existing mainsheet boom bail. Obviously, the further out

It looks like we are slowly getting rid of the problems associated with the new

Most of the problems encountered now appear to be individual and associated
with the mail program people are using. Eac
