[C320-list] Preventer

[Jeffrey Hare]

Hi Lamar,

   I upgraded my genoa cars to the Garhauer line adjustable version.  So, I
took my stock genoa cars and put them on the upper Jib tracks.

For a preventer, I take a line from the end of the boom, down around the
upper genoa car and lead it back to the aft cleat.  It's quite easy to
adjust or quickly release in a hurry from back there by the cockpit.  Works
great and easy to deploy.

The line size I use is equivalent to a genoa sheet.  I think it's sta-set.

How are people rigging a preventer for the main? How/where are you attaching
at the boom, deck and cockpit.  And how about line size/type.

Thanks for any pointers....
