Hi Guys
I have 2 poles 1 with beaks both ends and this pole.
The mast has a normal eye connection so not sure on this pole.
The boat is slutter rigged with removable inner forestay and a track for self tacking jib i am wondering if this might be a boom for inner stay any ideas cheers ian

Interesting Llenart.
Now that is lateral thinking, I wouldn't have thought of that.

Looks like the boom for an inner foresail
Also known "widow maker"

Yea that's what I was thinking lydia bolts to inner stay loops for down haul to track top loop to crinkle a real foredeck sweeper I have taken it off the boat as I can use the inner forestay without setting this boom up
