For mast mounted systems, how probable and serious is line slapping?
Our customers tell us it is either a non-existent problem or a minor one at most. Using a short piece of shock cord and a sturdy security hook, the system is designed to cinch up in an “L” configuration very taut against the boom and mast – thus avoiding line slap in all but the strongest breeze. Additionally, we designed the system so that the highest sliding connector (halyard line connector) will lie under the sail cover in the stowed position to further reduce the possibility of line slapping.
