Wichard Boom Brakes

Gybing is one of the most challenging operations on a sailboat – even for the most experienced sailors – potentially generating major damage or serious injuries. If you’re looking for a safer solution, consider the Wichard boom brake. Thanks to the frictions of the specific line passing over the boom break, Wichard allows the boom to gybe smoothly. With the Gyb’Easy boom break from Wichard, the gybe operations are safer, potential accidents are reduced and there are no more huge bangs from the boom slamming haphazardly to the opposite side of the boat.
