I have an old Nacra 5.0 and would like to add another jib block saddle (eye strap?)for my new short-foot long-leach jib. How did you attach the saddle to the hull? Do you feel the hull is structurally sound enough to carry the load? Is there a backing plate under the deck lid? Bad news if it ripped out under load!
