Description

Dutchman's Boom Brake allows the boom to be controlled easily from the cockpit and helps prevent accidental jibes or dissipate the shock load should a jibe occur.

Features:

  • Beautifully made, clean design that is easy to adjust
  • Line that runs through the brake is secured on deck to a point at or close to the aft lower chainplates (line is sold separately)
  • Vang types vary across available models:
    • BB250, BB500 and BB750 models are used with rigid vangs or soft vangs which have (2) Attachment Points on the Boom
    • BB250B, BB500B and BB750B models are for soft vangs and includes an additional shackle at the brake bottom for vang attachment
  • To install, you will need (a) cordage (sold separately) to run through the brake (b) a turning block (sold separately) at or near the chainplates and (c) a way to tension the line at the cockpit such as a spare winch or a block and tackle (sold separately)

Note: Specifications are for conventional, moderate displacement monohulls, and provide a rough indication of which Brake to use. Heavy displacement or offshore-intended sailboats should move up to the next larger Brake if near the maximum sail area
