Mine is the same. I can only assume that it was a rolling furler and over time people have gradually taken all the bits off. End boom sheeting and the attachment point of the mainsheet spins freely at the end of the boom. Mine is also a sliding gooseneck so I have a very mobile boom (aside from the rigid vang).
It does mean that the sail foot always pulls nicely since the boom can rotate slightly in line with the cloth, that's about the only good thing I could say about it.
