Hi everyone,
After a nasty gybing incident recently that resulted in extensive damage to my mast step and deck, I'm interested in
rigging up a cheap boom brake for my 12' Oday Widgeon with 90 sqft of sail. I've read some older threads here about using either a climbing figure 8 or a rescue 8 for the purpose, and saw that some people had gotten this to work okay. Does anyone have suggestions on what size/type of hardware and
line to use specifically for my little boat?
Advice much appreciated!
