Bill,

I don't know. Thought I did. I only remember (4) four
pop rivets at the fore end of the boom. Boat is 2 hours
away, but will surely check next time I go sailing. Mine
is a 1990 SHORT mast, LONG boom. Anyone else want to
comment? Anyone with one like mine or tall mast. Wouldn't
suprise me to see MANY different rigs.
