I agree with the jibe preventer comments..
Accidental jibes can get scary
So far I only ran down wind on very light wind days and for short
distances.. As per my prior comment I'm a believer in beam / broad
reach / gybing instead of running.. So my danger was minimized.
But, I'm glad you guys made the comment, It reminded me of my boom brake I
picked-up for 30 bucks at the marina swap meet last year. I believe it's
a Walder. I think they are pretty good. Now that I'm getting into racing I
need to rig it / test it and see if it's worth the extra clutter / hassle
instead of controlling the jibe with the main sheet.

Have you guys used one of those before?
