Re: Rigging a Preventer

As promised I experimented in September with the Boom brake - I acquired an EasyGyb boom brake with gybe flex included line. The line was 52’ and too short for GoodWay- I needed something like 72’.

Re: Rigging a Preventer

Also - the boom brake would be awesome for purposefully jibbing, under control - coming back into sf bay from outside, going near city front and jibbing more north, eg., - take the danger out of jibbing with these huge mains! Let you know, doing this in September ….

Re: Rigging a Preventer

Good points Mike! I don’t have a gun mount to attempt to work that downwind magic. I plan on next rigging a boom brake - has anyone tried this? My preference is to use the Winchard boom brake - two blocks attached to the toe rail adjacent the mast, with jibe control lines running to blocks in the co...

Re: F30 Bottom Paint Estimate

I just did my bottom on my F35 (P) - I used a calculator I found online based on length and beam - it was right on - I used 2 coats of Pettit Trinidad HD - used a little more than 3/4 g per coat. Yours is probably .7 g per coat I think. ( don’t know where the calculator is !)
