I still think that was a good idea. That damned wire has caused me
real problems, ussually when someone who does not know how I leave the
boat clips it to the boom and I do not know it. Next time I go
sailing, I raise the main, ease the sheets, WTF is wrong. I look all
over the sail controls to see where my reefing lines are caught and it
NEVER occurs to me to notice that clip until a gust of wind nearly
knocks us down. I HATE THAT WIRE.

So tape it to the backstay, or at the very least, tape the clip off so
that it can't be easily used.
