Wichard GybEasy Boom Brake

Enhance your sailing experience with the Gyb'Easy Boom Brake, engineered to ensure smooth and safe gybing maneuvers. Designed for both seasoned sailors and newcomers, the Gyb'Easy minimizes the risks associated with gybing, protecting both you and your vessel from potential injuries and equipment damage.

Why Choose the Gyb'Easy Boom Brake?

Gyb'Easy addresses one of the most challenging aspects of sailing—gybing. By controlling the boom's movement, this boom brake ensures a controlled and gradual transition, reducing the likelihood of sudden jerks that can lead to accidents or wear and tear on your sails and rigging.

Innovative Design and Functionality

The Gyb'Easy operates using the friction generated by the specially designed Gyb'Flex line as it passes through the boom brake mechanism. This friction allows the boom to pivot smoothly, absorbing the forces during a gybe. The more the line interacts with the brake openings, the greater the friction, thereby enhancing the brake's efficiency and control.

Adjustable Settings for Optimal Performance

Customize the Gyb'Easy to match your sailing conditions with its three adjustable tension settings. Whether you're navigating light winds or handling larger mainsails, the Gyb'Easy adapts to provide consistent performance, ensuring a tailored gybing experience every time.

Easy Installation for Immediate Use

Installing the Gyb'Easy Boom Brake is a breeze, taking only a few minutes to set up on an eye strap of the boom. It includes two different fittings, making it compatible with a wide range of deck configurations. You'll have peace of mind knowing your sailboat is equipped with this essential safety feature in no time.
