I found your letter on re-rigging Broremann very interesting. I particularly liked the masthead fitting made from webbing. Considering that this is the method that many big race-boats use to attach the sheet and vang to the boom, to decrease the possibility of metal fatigue and stress concentrations, I think there are good reasons for us to do likewise. I think it's worth thinking about attaching the halyard to the junk rig yard this way.
