Caution
Hello again,
If your are going to reinvent the wheel, you might at least make sure that it is round. Do you know what the max load might be on that preventer? Do you know how that compares with the load on those micro blocks, which approaches twice the load on that line? Did you know that nylon is much more chafe-vulnerable than Dacron, that there is now a significant torque load on your shroud chainplates, that this setup can still, in many circumstances, result in a locked-in-place boom, and that it might not be a good idea to hang two crucial components on the same fitting? And so on. I applaud your innovative spirit, but recommend more thorough field testing and analysis before making recommendations to others.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
