[Rhodes22-list] RE : Experimental Vang/Preventer

[Stephen Staum]

Lee,
I have used a spare line tied from the boom to an eyelit on the  
lifeline stanchion. This allowed me to pull the boom down effectively  
while on a run and prevent an accidental jibe.
Quick, cheap, easy and versatile solution.
