   The Anti-Jibe can serve many purposes: 

• Sailing downwind in heavier wind, the boom will lift when the force generated by the wind is greater than the boom's weight, the sail will curl washing the wind out of the sail. Thus reducing the amount of force generated and avoiding a sudden adverse heel and the stress on the boom
• Light winds and waves, snug up the Anti-Jibe Sheet and it will keep the boom from thrashing around.
• Man Overboard use the Anti-Jibe and Main Sheet to steady the boom to lift the crew member back on deck without getting slammed around
• At the dock or Mooring the boom can be lifted out of the way of the cockpit for boats with lower hanging booms with the top lifter.
• Loading equipment, supplies or bigger objects off the dock with your boom, use the Anti-Jibe and Main Sheet to keep the boom in place to lift the object and if needed to go higher use the top lifter to raise to boom up to clear obstructions.
