Why not consider a strong webbing type strap with sewn loops on each end?--can
be very strong, cheap and indestructible. I have been using the same one on
Water Phantom for 20+ years.

all, We were headed out for the last race of the season Saturday and as we
loaded up the main for the first time, the fitting on the boom that attaches
to the main sheet snapped off our 30-2. This was a single eye attached to a
plate riveted to the inside of the boom. I suspect this probably just weakened
over time and happened to give out at the weld. It was quite windy, but at
that point the stresses on the mainsheet weren’t out of the ordinary since we
were just motoring out of the harbor. No other damage to the boat and no harm
to the crew as a result of this, so it could have been much worse. Now the
issue is how to find a replacement. Anyone have an idea if these are available
off the shelf or have another idea for replacement? RigRite does not recognize
it. I have also contacted Offshore Spars, who I believe made the rig
originally and helped me out with a boom vang bracket last year. RigRite has
one that is similar size but with a different hole pattern that I probably
could make work, but still hoping for a true replacement if I can get one.
Thanks for your help! Jim ReinardyC&C 30-2 “Firewater”Milwaukee, WI
