I have a C30 that has 6:1 mid-boom sheeting with 3-attachement points for the main sheet to the boom which is lead to a 16ST winch. The original sail plan had a typical bolt-rope footed main sail. In this configuration, I assume that there there is some upward force applied to the boom by foot of the sail which would not be there if the main is loose footed.
Is there any problem with using this type of boom / sheeting for a loose footed main sail? The boom is pretty robust. The section used is the same extrusion that was used as a mast for the C25 and they were never considered to have a wimpy rig.
