WICHARD tree brake aluminium with rope 11mm 16m

Gyb’Easy: The Wichard boom brake Gybing remains one of the most challenging operations on a sailing boat even for experienced sailors and can possibly generate injuries and material damage. An efficient and safe solution: Gyb’Easy the Wichard boom brake. Concept: Thanks to the frictions of the specific line passing over the boom break, the boom is allowed to gybe smoothly. With Gyb’Easy, the gybe operations are safer, potential accidents reduced and without jerks. Settings of Gyb’Easy: The adjusment of Gyb’Easy is made thanks to the tension of the specialized line. 4 different positions exist for a perfect adaptation to the mainsail and wind conditions. The more the line passes over the openings, the more the friction is increased and hence the brake efficiency. An easy installation on all kinds of boats: The installation only takes a few minutes: a shackle is attached onto one of the boom eye straps. In order to fit with all the deck configurations, two different fittings can be implemented. The boom brake can be installed either on modern boats or old gaffers. Features: > Can be used on mainsail areas below 40 sqm. > Material: aluminium with anodisation. > Weight: 0.600 kg.
