Bow sprit para anchor question

[atmarineservices]

I have a Flicka 20, and my question lies regarding the inner through bolt of the bow sprit to the deck. I have the sprit removed, and it is through bolted with 1/2 ss rod using 1/2" G10 backing plates on both sides, and washers and nuts. I was wondering is the inner, threaded rod could accecpt an eye nut to be used with a block for the para anchor, or an inner stay if the boat has lee helm with the storm sails up. The bow sprit ir fir and great condition. Is this a mistake to add such a high load peice of gear to a structial nessasity that supports the rig? Or might this attachment point be ok for the use? Thanks,Zach
