[C320-list] Moving Main Sheet position on boom

[Jeff Hare]

Hi Brad,

What goal are you trying to achieve? Sorry I don't recall the specific reason, but I suspect it may be related to the dodger?

We have bridged this topic before, but now I am actually going to pull the trigger on this....

I want to move the rear most main sheet attachment on the boom forward. I have two options and want to hear any recommendations for or against them.

Option 1 - "Flip" the attachment point, so I only have to drill one new hole. Essentially moving it forward the entire length of the attachment.

Option 2 - Move it forward by half the length, drilling two new holes, which will surround the forward hole and cover it up when I am done.

I don't have an engineering degree. Is option 2 "dangerous" because now I have 4 holes in the boom fairly close together?

Thoughts?

Thanks so much in advance!!!!
