We clip off our halyard to the toe rail. We also made a yoke from Sunbrella with grommets that wraps around the aft area of the boom. We use it if the shackle starts chattering on the toe rail if the wind hits it just right.
The really annoying thing is when the boom starts squeaking at the goose neck at 2am.
