Continuing my E27 refurb I removed the behind the mast furling system that was worn out, glad it's gone but I'm left with a non standard gooseneck attachment. Getting ready to dive into a new main sail and need to get this area sorted. My plan is to remove the connector in the picture where the furler attached and replace it with a stainless bolt to attach the boom. The upside down L shaped bracket will come out with it leaving me a mounting point (hole closest to the mast) to install something to attach the tack. Looking for some guidance on a plan, something simple and strong that won't hurt the new sail. Does this connection need to pivot with the boom? Fine as a hard attachment that doesn't move? What to install?
Kind of new at this and looking for suggestions.
