Stus-List Re: Preventer boom placement

A preventer at the aft most end/tip of the boom works best and avoids the risk or breaking the boom in the middle. Often times the preventer is rigged after the sail is set and as such now the end of the boom is out of reach. At painter can/should be attached to the end of the boom and fitted suc

Not a bad idea at all...if you can find a solid place to terminate and inner forestay. You may also want to rig running backstays opposite so the stay sail doesn't bend the mast too much.
