There's the PREVENTER and then there's the "DADVENTER"..

Yep...folks....

some boats have preventers, for downwind, others have the DADVENTER....

Same purpose, but the DADVENTER is "on command"....






What don't we do for our kids??? Huh?? tell me??

Hmmm, I don't know, but the dadventer looks like a pretty old model to me. Maybe it is not??? Where was it made? I heard many of the things coming out of France these days look old but are new... you know, that whole retro thing. At least the dadventer was not wearing bell bottoms, I guess.

Not to mention, there is not much UV protection on the top of the Dadventer which may cause a lot of UV degradation in the future. I think I sent the Dadventer some Catalina Specific harware to help fix the problem as the UV protection continues to fall out.

HEHE!

I use a cheaper model of dadventer call crewventer once in awhile but there's a concern that when hit with sudden gybe, the crewventer gets propell across the deck into the drink over the otherside. have to carry spares crewventer I suppose.
