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.

I made a strop with AMSTEEL. I spliced eyes in each end. It goes around the mast three times. It stays in place without anything holding it there.

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!
