While sailing this weekend we had our ubolt attachment at the mast snap. The boom vang and mainsheet blocks were both attached to the ubolt. We would like to replace the boom vang with a rigid boom vang and our question is what to do for the mainsheet attachment. Ideally we would like to put in another mast collar block in one of the openings on the mast collar. Does the mainsheet need to be attached to a ubolt assembly to allow it to slide back and forth or can we get one of the Garhauer mast collar blocks and install on the starboard opening. I've attached pics of the before and after...let me know what you recommend.

Thanks!

Yes, your mainsheet can go on one of the collar holes. Ours does just that. We also have a Garhauer rigid vang. Good luck.
