The previous edition of the SoloRight used three, 3/16" bridle lines, while the new SoloRights use only one set of 7/64" bridle lines.

The old ones had a bridle that supported the end of the stick that contacted the hull. They held the stick from fore-aft movement, up-down movement, and in-out movement. You may consider this approach. If you would like to see a picture and a (poor) drawing of it, check out post number 18165 on this forum. I'll try to give the link here:
