Spibaumhalterung

Kinda redicilous to upload this since my problem was so specific, so I do it because I wanted to share what I achieved.

the problem i faced was a new boom to which the spinnakerboom had to be attached and a skipper who didnt want to make holes for screws in it. so i first came up with a strap-fixed pipe to hold the spinnaker up and a piece of rope with some knots to stop it from sliding out of the pipe.

since the pipe would change its position rather quickly, after a couple of races I needed a more solid option. grabbed a piece of paper, held it on the back of the boom and drew the outlines around it.

transferred it to fusion 360, guessed the width of the spinnakerboom and ended up with an overengeneered solution for an in-place bolted metal ring.

the upsides are: it holds even if i let go and the spinnakerboom swings down, I can aim less, since there is an open space in front of the pipe part and I did something myself (aka Ikea-effect)

used our ships logo with 0.2mm offset, drew over it with a blue edding. to stop it from sliding i put a yellow rubber underneath it.

what I learned:

6 screws for this construction are overkill, especially for the prototype.

nut slots are awesome and addicting to use in projects

0.1mm spacing is too little when the object to fit is 10mm
