Anti-Jibe
How the Anti-Jibe Boom Preventer works.


Anti-Jibe System is nice and clean. Tucked up against the Mast and Boom and sheet are lead back to the cockpit.

(To Enlarge mouse over)
With the Port Anti-Jibe Sheet engaged, the slider is against the end stop, the Port Anti-Jibe Sheet from the silder to the Fairlead creates an angle therefore creating mechanical advantage over the boom.
This is a description of the Anti-Jibe
system.
When on a downwind run or quarter breeze the Boom is rotated out because the wind is coming over or across the stern.
This can be preformed Port or Starboard. This representation will be described with the boom over the Starbord Side.
