[C320-list] Jibe Preventer

[Davis, Stanley D. (SHB)]

I've run a line from the end of the boom to the bow cleat (I don't have a cleat on the track)and it seemed to work fine.

Subject: [C320-list] Jibe Preventer



Has anyone rigged a preventer on the boom to minimize the effects of an an accidental jibe?

I was thinking simply of a line from the end of the boom that would be clipped to a cleat on the forward end of the jib sheet track.

Suggestions?
