Firstly, is the boom & section itself up to this single point WL?

I can only say that the boom is aluminum and was aboard when I bought the
boat whose displacement is approximately 10 tons, loaded. I will however
confirm with those having engineering knowledge of aluminum booms that
mine is suitable to the task before proceeding with any attachments, of
course.

These boats have crossed oceans with comparable rigs, hence I,
possibly falsely, conclude it to be probably properly sized for handling
expected loads under anticipated conditions for which I bought her.

But of course even if it were excessive in it's dimensions for it's
purpose, that doesn't mean attachments could not be improper in themselves
or improperly executed, hence my original query.

So, I thank you for mentioning this matter, however what I now seek is a
reply from those having satisfactory experience or knowledge to my
original question; not saying you don't, just requesting that this be
confined to the original question, at this point.

Cordially,
Courtney
