Prevenors

I also use a Walder boom brake on my 345 and I am perplexed as to why yacht manufacturers make no provision for the fitting of these safety items. They never seem to  offer them as a fitted extra either. When you consider that out of control booms are the main cause of death and serious injury on a yacht this seems strange. It also surprises me that no one markets a fit and forget boom control unit that controls the speed the boom can come across without intervention. It cant be that difficult to devise such a unit....Rant over.
