Thanks. Does anyone have photos of the routing of the shock cord att he tack?

Has anyone ever used this mounting point? Is there a backing block?

This is the second time someone said "and in light air it will hold the sail out". How would routing the shock cord through the boom joint keep the sail "out"?

Exactlly. They fit very snug on insertion and drew up to the hull interior very very flat. The ones I was able to find had a thinner flange atthe top which made them even more desirable. Almost like a strong thin flat washer. Again, the intent wasnt strength because this application was only to...

Has anyone installed an inspection port on a Minifish? I am goingto replace my standard "rope through the deck" configuration with two small blocks and will need to install backing plates. It looks as if the interior foam boyancy blocks may run all the way to the transom making it impossible to...
