New Gyb'Easy Boom Break
New Three Tension Setting Design Reduces Boom Speed
Wichard has introduced an innovative three-setting
boom break system designed to slow boom movement
during the potentially dangerous gybe maneuver. The
new Gyb’Easy Boom Break is supplied complete with a
special Gyb’Flex line, making this the easiest, most
compact boom break system available.
Hot-forged from Series 6 aluminum, the new Gyb’Easy
is extremely strong and lightweight. The unique 3
setting design can be quickly adjusted depending on
wind and sea conditions by simply weaving the 40'
Gyb’Flex line through one, two or three available
resistance settings. Each additional weave increases
resistance, slowing potential boom speed. Easy to
rig, the Gyb’Easy is secured to the deck using
common deck hardware.
According to Vernon Hultzer, National Sales and
Marketing Manager for Wichard USA, “We feel this
product will be a great addition to our already
successful line of safety products. Our in-house R&D
team developed this revolutionary product by drawing
on technology from Wichard’s Simond division, which
is an ice climbing and mountaineering hardware brand
focused on reliability and safety. Manufactured from
hot-forged aluminum, the Gyb’Easy has no moving
parts and requires no maintenance or inspection.”
Available now at most marine chandlers, the Wichard
Gyb’Easy boom break has a suggested retail price of
$289.90.
The French based Wichard Company was founded in
1919. A world leader in marine equipment, Wichard
Group brands include Wichard marine hardware,
Profurl furling systems and Simond mountaineering
and climbing equipment.
