I am happy to b e able to amaze and annoy you. However, I want a
dinghy I can row so an inflatable wont work.
The purpose of the short cable seemed to be in lieu of a topping lift
but as the boat has ALWAYS had a topping lift I am not sure why it is
really there unless it is there for when the topping lift fails. Once
I did use it in place of the topping lift when I had just re-stepped my
mast aftyer about a years sailing hiatus. For about 15 minutes I just
couldnt figger out why my main wouldnt trim properly and then I
remembered I had not disconnected this thing. Its more trouble than
its worth.

I had one on my boat. It was to hold the boom steady when tied up,
or for a boom tent. Use it or not. I used it for flying the flag
at one point.

Yes, I did try to sail with it attached. ONCE! then I remembered I
had no one to blame but me, so I stopped.
