Maybe too much time on my hands...? But I really like the videos folks take from the forestay of their Hobie Cats, so I decided to put together a simple mount for my oldish GoPro Hero 3. I don't have a lot of accessories, but I did happen to have one of the more basic clip-in attachments...
I picked up some 1/8" thick, 2" aluminum angle (I always seem to be looking for stuff like this, so now I have some stock), and cut a piece to fit inside the forestay adjuster. It does require 2 free adjuster holes at the bottom. Here's what the parts look like...
The mount is squeezed into the forestay adjuster with (slightly modified) nylon spacers to get a tight fit without affecting the forestay wire attachment...
The GoPro mount is attached, maybe with a little bit of overkill, though I'm pretty sure it isn't going to go anywhere...
GoPro mounted (and easily removable) with a modicum of up/down angle adjustment...
Look for embarrassing videos in the near future (actually, I'll keep the embarrassing ones to myself)...
