its simple, put the strap through the grommet on the sail, around the boom, then through the metal ring on the strap, and velcro it onto itself, then put velcro flap on, its not that hard, hence idiot proof
When someone has asked a serious question, it is not acceptable to describe the solution as idiot proof. You called the poster an idiot by using such language, and you continue to do so.
I know you meant no disrespect, but really the strap seems a little short, only an inch or so of velcro adheres. It came loose on the first beat, 1st race, so i had 3 or 4 non Laser, non dinghy sailors try to figure it out. The more beer we drank the less we understood. I cut it twice and its still too short...
i didnt cut it, that was a joke, an old one at that
I ordered it from APS
How's the all-in-one-clew-outhaul failsafe (idiot proof) system design coming along, Ross?
all about personal preference, its a beautiful thing
I once thought his was a problem, which was why I looked into a velcro, but with a bit of practice you can do it easy with the rope set up.but is difficult to tie and untie with its blowing 20

Make sure boat is slightly off head to wind to put the boom off the aft quarter. No need to lean in over the transom then.
attach clew hook
apply outhaul tightly (reduces the amount of boom flap)
tie the knot
release outhaul
done.
Indeed -
Geezer - sorry I don't 'get' your comment. One design sailing to me means I shouldnt have to waste time thinking about this stuff - are you agreeing with me? or just being sarcastic?
