Kevin...looks like you need a gooseneck slide...so you can adjust tension on your main with a downhaul...the metal loop thing may be a reefing hook...not sure about that...Bill

Reefing hook...if the luff on your main has a cringle (grommet) you hook it with this when reefing....(lol, Bill we must have been typing at the same time tonight, you typed faster and beat me to it)

My boom came with your same fitting. I changed it to the DH 418 from Dwyer

Hey Kevin, Bondo and I are on the St. Croix near Hudson, WI. If you ever get down to this neck of the woods with your boat, let us know.
