Headsail boom forward end 101D-2

This version with an angled hole for the counterbalance weight shaft means the shaft does not need to be bent to avoid fouling the foredeck. This makes it unlikely to be turned round in a collision and thereby avoids the possibility of it fouling the deck and preventing the headsail boom from working properly. This version is supplied with the screws necessary to fix the forestay and lock the counterbalance weight shaft..
