That works OK but the best solution of all is to install a spring
loaded boom vang like the Hall Quick Vang. That totally eliminates
the need for a boom topping lift which reduces windage, sail chafe and
weight aloft.

Perhaps. But a piece of shock cord costs a lot less.

True, but I've tried everything at one time or another and still
regard the Quick Vang as a good investment.
