You should check those list. If you have already permanently deleted them, I guess I could dig through my deleted files and find at least some of the recommendations. I ended up using roller bails at both ends, bolted through the boom and attached with the mast step bolt. This was set as close to 45 degrees (equilateral triangle) as I could get. I first made an eye strap mounted on a sail track slug for the mast end that worked, but got in the way when trying to step the mast (lifted mast off deck so mast step bolt would not fit). Even the roller bail causes some problems when stepping the mast if it's not positioned correctly. I now think the line around the mast approach is the best solution.
