Description

Gybe safely with Gyb'Easy, the new Wichard boom brake - Designed to reduce the slamming of the boom during a gybe

Why a 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. Gyb'Easy is an efficient and safe solution to reduce such risks.

How it works

Thanks to the friction properties of the specific line called Gyb'Flex passing over the boom brake, the boom is allowed to gybe smoothly and without jerks. The more the line passes over the openings, the more the friction is increased and hence the brake efficiency.

Installation and Settings

Installation is easy, it takes a few minutes to install it on a eye strap on the boom. Adjustment is made using the 3 setup different positions on the Gyb'Easy, the more the Gyb'Flex line passes over the Gyb'Easy the more  friction is applied.
