Mine is a 73 also, and dollars to donuts, they are square steel plates. Rusted to shit. Mine were 3/8 of an inch thick probably 4 by 4. I replace them with stainless steel ones, the same size. I like the heavy plate dispersing the load over a larger area. Probably what you should look into is

Hey folks,
I pulled my mast for rebuild and upgrades, and while it is out, the step is
being rebuilt. I removed the stringers today and as suggested before, while
putting it all back together, I will retighten the keel bolts. The bilge is
still black and full of grunge, but one thing I've
We used a boom break on DejaVu for offshore racing and it worked great.
Its mid-boom attachment system however not so much a preventer as a break
being applied (think driving your car) to slow down the energy of an
accidental jibe. We used to do intentional jibes at speed with good winds
Just a fine technical point on the difference between a Barber hauler and
an outboard sheet. I hope I'm right on this. It's a fine distinction.
A Barber hauler (invented by the Barber brothers) is used in conjunction
with the primary jibsheet. As one sails a bit off the wind and eases the
When used to pull the genny clew out, that is indeed a barber hauler.

I use a similar set up with a 4:1 block including a cam clear left over from my
old boat when I went from a topping lift to a Garhaur vang. I have a
attachment point on the boom about 3’ from the end and a Johnson bale on the
rail about 4’ ahead of the standing rigging. It all goes on
I keep a similar rig aboard my boat. I keep two lines with SS carabiners in the
end and I call them "barberhaulers" from some sailing book I read back in the
80's. They can be used to pull the genoa clew out to the toerail or as
preventers attaching to a loop rigged on the boom to the vang
I have a simple bail about 2/3 way back on the boom. I clip a line on that
and run it forward to a snap shackle on the rail then back to a cleat on the
top/side of the cabin.

My rigger advised that a mid boom preventer can break the boom in a bad

My setup is difficult to explain but bear with me. To start, I have a metal

To this eye I have cow hitched a small continuous loop of

when you really need a preventer), we sheet the main all the

Mine goes form mid-boom to the toerail. I have never seen an end-boom

I also have a boom brake device I need to rig up one of these days. It
does not prevent a gybe, it just makes it sloow

I have been thinking aobut rigging a preventer on my boat so re-read this old
discussion of how people rig them. End boom attachment sounds preferable, but
does that have to run outside the shrouds? If so, then you would have to rig
it before letting the main out while you can stlill get to
