Yes! I also did this when I added a new boom to my vintage 39, I think it was a 6:1, I welded the heads of some screws to the forward attachment, and hot glued it to a stick so I could poke it in there and then could just tighten up some elastic stop nuts on the bottom of the boom. This all came about after losing my first place in a race after screwing up an outhaul tightening after a jibe, due to the archaic system of a little winch on the boom that required someone to go up close to the mast to crank up the outhaul. At deck level of 45 degrees. I swore after that I was done with that type of outhaul.
