The innovative Wichard Gyb Easy boom brake prevents the main boom from coming over abruptly, e.g. in the event of a patent jibe. The boom brake can be shackled directly to the lower edge of the boom, e.g. in the attachment point of the mainsheet, and can be used universally for both modern and classic yachts. The supplied sheet is guided through the boom brake according to the desired damping, and the resulting friction prevents sudden and rapid movement of the boom. This damping can be adjusted to four different strengths using the appropriate sheet guide. The Gyb Easy boom brake is an important safety feature for yachts and can prevent serious injuries and material damage caused by unintentional jibing. Further information:
