[Rhodes22-list] Boom Vang for the R22

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

A preventer would offer much more control and could be easily removed when not needed.  You would ov course have to sail with the poptop down to use properly.
An additional benefit is that the boom vang doesnt help prevent the accidental jibe.
