Dutchman Boom Brake

Thanks to Randy Alcorn I started to look into jibe preventors for my Cal 40. I am cruiser and not a racer. I am currently prepping my boat for extended offshore cruising and want to get all lines lead into the cockpit for safety reasons - the jibe preventor is the last line to be addressed. I found a product called the Dutchman Boom Brake that looks to be very simple and effective and operable from the cockpit. Does anyone in the group have any experience with the Dutchman Boom Brake or know of other similar products? The Boom Brake web site is http://www.mvbinfo.com/dp_03_BB_brochure.html Thanks again Randy for getting me focused on safety! Keith Cal 40 Kismet

Hi, Keith - I've had one on my Cal 2-30. my long-since MacGregor and my long-since Cal 20. These things wok as advertised and are the right answer for non-racers. \Rog Cal 29+ #1 Swiss Navy Cal 2-30 #77 St. Lori's Comet _____ From: Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com [mailto:Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Keith and Susan Sent: Wednesday, November 22, 2006 8:33 PM To: Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com Subject: [Cal_Boats] Dutchman Boom Brake Thanks to Randy Alcorn I started to look into jibe preventors for my Cal 40.
