Any reason this gooseneck reefing hook won't work on a Ty?

Post by PortTack »

Hello,

Looking to set up my jiffy reefing rig on my Ty this spring, and would like to install a hook at the tack of the boom. I had this nifty hook on my old o'day daysailer, any reason to think it wouldn't also work on the typhoon?

My boom is away in storage right now, otherwise I'd look myself. Thanks!

That looks like the same one Rig-Rite supplied when I converted from roller to slab reefing

I'd also love to add something like that to my boom, rather than my multi-year "temporary" solution of lashing down the tack. Please update us when/if you install this on how you go about installing it!
