This Boom Bail was purchased is not going to work for us, or not yet - 2018

The Boom Bail we purchased is not going to work for us, possibly?. 
 We discovered we do not have the clearance from the end of the boom to the solar panels. We could I suppose lower the forward end of the solar panels but I do not see the point just to add the Boom bail. We have done fine without it so far, years of sailing. We will see how it gos now with our new Garhauer RIgid Boom VangRV-20-1SL  and if we could use it this coming cruising season.
 We have also thought about putting the ball up by the mast on the boom for a hand hold for sail handling in rougher seas.

This one is made by "Ronstan" and we purchased it from Downwind Marine.

July 2018 - Currently in Paradise Village Marina , Banderas Bay Mexico (Puerto Vallarta Jalisco)
July 2018- We are now Currently in Ajijic which is a town by Lake Chapala ,Mexico house sitting.
