Enjoy sailing downwind? Yes, it’s possible with Walder Boom Brake. No more risk of violent jibing and the danger from the boom crossing from one side to the other. With a Walder, my boom is immobilized and stabilized. When jibing occurs, the boom will swing itself over smoothly and controlled. No need to rig a preventer, no need to climb on the deck. All I have to do once the boom is over to port or starboard is to put the Walder’s line on tension – and this from the safety of the cockpit. What a pleasure. I can sail quietly – even if there’s a swell and in light weather, my boom is not flapping. The Walder is easy to rig and even easier to use. You will enjoy sailing downwind with Walder Boom Brake.
