Good evening.
The attachment of my kicker at the boom broke off today in a gust. It looks a bit fragile for the load which is placed upon it.
I see some discussion in the forum and technical section about soft attachments and/or straps to spread the load, for example the Kicker Tang thread from February 2017. I think something like this would be a lot more robust. At least it will be more obvious when it is getting worn and less prone to unexpected failure.
Does anyone have any more updates or experience, or any more pictures they could share? What is the best way to prevent the strap etc from moving along the boom?
Thanks,
Mark
