Thanks again for all the information guys... when I get around to working the boom I'll most likely update my mainsheet a bit.
Good Sailing

rigging
well here are a few rushed photos of the boom and how I think the rigging should look. It looks to run just like the one in the video... but the horse-shore looking thing seems to wont to fill the mid boom position. My misgivings are can a moveable part fill this position? Also with a standard boom ...

Sorry guys... I did not realize this would cause such a buzz of curiosity. The guy I got it from was a third party and knew nothing of how this little sailboat was rigged. I would throw everything up but one side of the old mast tabernacle (holding tooth) has broken off... don't know if i would trus...

Clair Here is a bit clearer photo of the item or items, the smaller block to the right came off the aft of the boom. I had taped them together so not to misplaceit.

Thanks all for the input, and any others that may make an observation. it would seem the rotating boom line of thinking is the most likely use of this item. E.E. would the factor that this item is moveable hinder its function as part of the mainsheet or would the tension on the line hold it in place...

This is a fairly simple little sailboat, I'll try and link to a video on youtube to give you a feel of it. This is a rigging video but no horse shore looking thing to be found. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gj72oSKm9wk

Rigging Question
A call for information from the Chrysler brain trust... sorry it's not about a chrysler per say but a rigging question on the 16' American fiberglass sailboat I came across a few days past. Does anyone have an idea on just what the horse shoe looking thing is for and how it functions? The hardware a...
