This should *absolutely* be part of a multi-pronged response.

Imo:

1. products tarriffed by #USA should immediately lose export permits to the USA. E.g. if softwood lumber is tarriffed, none can be exported to the USA for a time, and then it needs to be reviewed.

2. dollar-for-dollar forced sale of Canadian corporations owned by US entities.

3. Nationalize resources. The provinces have failed to guard them, monitor their exploitation, or enforce rehabilitation.

For rigging, try attaching the loop to the purchase, then lead the strap up and out the *top* slot, back in through the *bottom* slot, then the other side however feels comfortable for you. This should result in the lead to the purchase being more-centred, resulting in less twist to the boom.

As the last image suggests, the strap should be kept as short as possible. This gives the largest range for the purchase to tension.

Ask me about your purchase later..

Now I am super curious, but I am on the mainland at the moment so I cannot drive down to see it...

@kboyd @sailing

Okay, that would be weird, but I can see someone doing it. Do those two pieces of stainless just hook into the boltrope slot? If so, then yes, I think you are correct.

@kboyd @sailing

That will certainly make it easier to repair, or remove, if it works that way. Another way it may work is as a sort of shim, sliding into the bolt rope slot and with thinned edges - but that will likely require removing the boom from the gooseneck to remove it.
