J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum The Boat, Sails and Equipment boom track

Do it the easy way and just wrap a sail tie around a couple times through the cringle, then tie it off. It should be tight enough so it you can't slide the aft end of the sail off the boom if the tack is pinned where it should be. There is no problem adjusting the outhaul the way you would normally. I actually found it was easier to adjust because the slug would sometimes bind in the boom track when under pressure.
