Re: Stus-List Boom Bail for 30-2

[dwight veinot via CnC-List]

Well I installed a stainless steel boom bail exactly where i wanted it on
the boom years ago. Works perfect and never slips and is very strong and
doesn’t show any wear. I wanted the main sheet attached to the boom as far
aft as i could have it for least inconvenience and maximum control.

Thanks, Mike!  
 
I am definitely keeping this as an option, but Holland Marine claims to have 
the exact replacement part, which is now on the way to me.  I'm planning to try 
that first and will go the strop direction if that doesn't pan out.  Thanks all 
for the feedback.

Re: Stus-List Boom Bail for 30-2

[Charlie Nelson via CnC-List]

My webbing 'strop'(?) is about 1" wide with loops in each end so I just put one 
loop thru the other and hook the mainsheet block shackle to the 'free' loop. 
The entire length of the strop is only a little more than the circumference of 
the boom. With the pressure on the strap and its width of 1" and with the strap 
in contact with the top and sides of the boom, it will never move. Even when in 
the slip, with any tension on the main sheet to keep the boom steady, it will 
not move. Charlie NelsonC 36 XL/kcb-Original Message-

I have a C 35-3 and moved my traveler aft off the doghouse to behind the 
companionway. My sailmaker made a strop made of amsteel. Super strong. I simply 
tied a thin line from end of boom to strop to keep it from sliding forward. 
Works great.

Stus-List Boom Bail for 30-2

[Jim Reinardy via CnC-List]

Hi 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!
