Hi Bruce
A curious place to post your message into the "WC Resolutions" forum -- no one outside of the WC can reply there. On the assumption you would like some comment,

It may be worth noting that the Class Rules make an attempt to limit what a fitting can do:Bruce Anderson wrote:Although fittings with flat surfaces may not add performance advantage, the size and area of rig fittings may need to be regulated.
I seem to recall that this has been used in the past to refuse certification to booms with large-area clew attachment fittings, for example.IOM Class Rules wrote:F.2.3 LIMITATIONS. The function of items shall be limited to what is normally provided by items of their type.
