I am talking the main attached to a strop which is attached to the clew. The boom simply runs through the strop. The out haul however does attach the boom to the sail and that connection is what allows forced rotation and bent/bowed booms.
One could argue the out haul needs to be eased a bit but I would disagree. When I noticed the first boom I assumed one of us had landed on it during a capsize. The second one had not been in a capsize before I noticed it was bowed.
In both cases the boom was/is still serviceable, it just bothered me that it wasn't straight.
