Consider making the aft end a lot wider than the tip to avoid needing side stays (if attaching directly to the bow). Also consider an internal end fitting (machined aluminum, or fabricated G10) to receive the bobstay and possibly tack lines if you ever fly an asymmetric kite. Can be as simple as a tight-fitting glued-in "slug" with a vertical-cut slot to ring hitch the bobstay and strops through.????
