After my last escapade, of which the RCA seems to be not cleating the inhaul sheet properly on the boom. This allowed the clew of the mainsail to flop out and unfurl, allowing maniacal stress on the cars plate.

However it inspired my neighbor down the slip, who has a much older boat (r22 tho) was inspired to update his outhaul.

He went with A nylon sail slide that fits the groove on the boom and a dyneema soft shackle.   Said it was about $30 at west marine, most in the shackle.    I haven't seen it in action, but he seems to like it so far. (Ymmv)
