A lot of my boom and mast hardware was installed using large pop rivets. I would not have thought that strong enough, but they have been on there a long time with no problems. On a boom preventer, I use two types. The quick and dirty method is one of those black rubber tarp straps from the boom bail to the aluminum toe rail. Be careful you don't catch a flying hook in the eye if that snaps out of your hand. That is mostly for light air stuff in boat chop to keep the boom and mainsail from flogging around. Second method is my boom vang, which has snap shackles on each end. Unclip the mast end and take it to the toe rail. Better angle and it's not going anywhere. Both methods take advantage of the aluminum toe rail with all those holes. Still prefer that over the wood myself.
