It was a lot more expensive though.Fri, 16 Aug 2013 17:32:53 GMTsimoncurrinhttps://forum.oceancruisingclub.org/FindPost1072.aspxI have recently fitted a Winchard boom brake in the hope that it might make saling down wind a bit safer. I went out last week in 19knts apparent and tried a few gybes. It was rigged on maxmuim friction. We had one reef in the mainsail. The product was totaly useless for my 41 footer. A wasted £100. Does anybody else have any experence of products that work in the real world?Fri, 16 Aug 2013 17:00:31 GMTjgbailey
