When used to pull the genny clew out, that is indeed a barber hauler. From: CHARLES SCHEAFFER via CnC-List Sent: Saturday, March 16, 2019 3:38 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: CHARLES SCHEAFFER Subject: Re: Stus-List Gybe preventer
I keep a similar rig aboard my boat. I keep two lines with SS carabiners in the end and I call them "barberhaulers" from some sailing book I read back in the 80's. They can be used to pull the genoa clew out to the toerail or as preventers attaching to a loop rigged on the boom to the vang fitting. The end boom arrangement can be instituted for heavy air, but we like convenience of this mid boom arrangement as it works well, is quick and easy. The vang, mainsheet and preventer work together to hold the boom steady, no play, no wear, no shock load. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
