Mine goes form mid-boom to the toerail. I have never seen an end-boom
preventer.
I also have a boom brake device I need to rig up one of these days. It
does not prevent a gybe, it just makes it sloooooow................

My Gybe preventer is simply a soft Vang taken to the toe rail.
Works great and doesn’t require any special rigging.

I have been thinking aobut rigging a preventer on my boat so re-read
this old discussion of how people rig them. End boom attachment sounds
preferable, but does that have to run outside the shrouds? If so,
then you would have to rig it before letting the main out while you
can stlill get to the end of the boom. Then, how do you gybe when you
want to?
I have a single reef point on my new main, so I have an extra
internal boom line and sheave from the second reef setup that exits
at the rear of the boom. I am thinking that if i put a long enough
line with a snap shackle at the end where it exits the boom, I could
use that as a preventer. Before letting the main out downwind, you
would grab the shackle and run it forward to the toe rail near the bow
and clip it in and then have control from the stopper on the cabin
top. Thoughts? Dave
PS- No expectation of offshore/big waves racing in my future so this
is a cruising/club racing solution
