That spinnaker bracket looks interesting and would offset the forestay nicely. Yes the genoa luff tension takes a lot of strain.

However, the genoa head swivel joint would foul against the lower bracket support. A 4 legged bracket would work.

I've decided I have to bite the bullet and start on the ally mast. I have a 5m tube and drilled the critical tabernacle pivot hole last night.

I need to shop around for a pop riveter. I prefer bolts but needs must.
