As part of adding my third reef I need to add a line entrance cutout in my boom (just forward of the cheek block).
I had on hand a schaefer exit plate that I was going to use. But this place has anti-chafe bar for inside the spar.

Looking at where the chafe bar is relative two the mounting holes it seems that the cutout would need be square on that side. Indeed I found a picture on the web of a an actual cutout that did this.

Is this simply a bad design on Scaefer's part?
