Do you want me to take a picture one of these days and
prove you and Loco wrong. You may be mislead by the
fact that you can see daylight between the boom and sliding
slug at the clew. You may also note there is black webbing
attaching the clew and said slug. I sewed the webbing on
after the original broke in the same gale that also broke
the boom in two. It also tore the material in the shelf in that
area. I didn't bother fixing the small tear in the shelf because
I felt it was of little consequence.

There, does that make you feel better, little one? Or, do
you need your sippy cup?

How does the bolt rope in the boom limit the trim?

Mine bolt rope (3/8" polyester sewn to the sail)
stretches as the outhaul is heaved tight and the
sliding slug at the clew slides aft. The sail stretches at
the foot and the shelf actually closes so it is not even
evident. Only when the outhaul is slacked off to produce
a fuller sail is the shelf expanded. Maybe your shelf-footed
sail was poorly designed?

Ummm that's not a shelf foot Cappy!
