The song Mr. Tambourine Man does have the line "take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship", and there is a C&C here with the name Magic Swirlin' Ship

Anything we can adapt to old C&Cs? Finally had a day under 90 F friday and went out sailing. Winds at 20 with gusts as high as 28mph; used my 160% genny only and it was a great choice, although tacking took a while. Once through the tack, the wind just kept blowing the bow down. Had to gain speed and nurse it back to windward. Downwind was a blast!

After my post favoring SS rivets, I get to Touché today to see 1/4 inch Phillips machine screws on the vang bracket. :) Well, it was many years ago when I installed it; I am younger than that now.

(On my 25 about half of the boom is cradled in the attached plate. ) So the fasteners connecting the plate to the spar are under primarily shear loading, not tensile. For this sort of configuration, the additional cross section of the machine screw (or cap screw, if you use those) would seem the better choice. If, however, you have something like a Boomkicker, or a vang with “generic” mounting plates that don’t curve around the spars, rivets might be a better choice.
