Mid Boom Sheets

[Asleep Helmsman]

On a Cal 2-29 the boom is without a track on the bottom side. Is there an off-the-shelf bracket that can be used to hold sheet blocks to the boom?

Thanks guys.

Maybe something like this:

There is no need for mechanical fastenings for that application, just lash them on in the right place with dyneema/dynex. You may need to add a stopper of some sort to stop the lashing sliding forwards when you are eased sheets.

That would only work if the foot of the sail is fitted with slugs. I believe they had a bolt-rope.

A slit in the right place of foot tape on the sail would fix that issue.

I think it would still require something mechanical to keep the loops from slipping.
