rigging

well here are a few rushed photos of the boom and how I think the rigging should look. It looks to run just like the one in the video... but the horse-shore looking thing seems to wont to fill the mid boom position. My misgivings are can a moveable part fill this position? Also with a standard boom ...

Thanks all for the input, and any others that may make an observation. it would seem the rotating boom line of thinking is the most likely use of this item. E.E. would the factor that this item is moveable hinder its function as part of the mainsheet or would the tension on the line hold it in place...

This is a fairly simple little sailboat, I'll try and link to a video on youtube to give you a feel of it. This is a rigging video but no horse shore looking thing to be found. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gj72oSKm9wk

A call for information from the Chrysler brain trust... sorry it's not about a chrysler per say but a rigging question on the 16' American fiberglass sailboat I came across a few days past.
