Thanks for those pics. What material is it made from?

Looks like run-of-the-mill GRP to me. Nice felt liner material to not scratch the gelcoat and bungee to secure it around the boom.

Someone earlier mentioned a possible problem of the cuff moving forward and then tipping on it's side. Can't easily happen as my boom is tapered and so the cuff doesn't slide forward. The rear support overlaps the fin a bit so it won't rotate.
