Jibe preventer

[paulsailing]

Has anyone fitted a preventer to their LM27? My previous experience of manufactured systems is not positive and was therefore considering making up my own. Did you go to the end of the boom? Any ideas would be great.

I have on occasion, simply run a line from the hoop that holds my mainsheet block to the boom, to and around a cleat on the foredeck, then back to a cleat in my cockpit. It has worked well for the intended purpose. You could get fancy and reduce friction by adding a block or an eye on a line around the forward cleat if you wish, but it is not necessary.

Thanks, I think simple is best...
