Unless your talking about a different type of slug than I have ever seen I
don't know how a big round slug could pull through a 1/16" or 1/8" slot.

Umm, you were the one talking about it pulling out. I was just pointing out that
the slug & it's strap are much stronger than the foot shelf & boltrope.


.... A sail with a bolt rope, even if the clew slug attachment failed,
would be held in place because of tension between the tack and outhaul.

If the outhaul stays intact, then the foot will stay in place without the bolt
rope, too. That's how a Laser works

My
engineer (simulated in the matrix) brain tells me this.

Yes but do you have a digitally simulated slide rule?
