Walder has been working with their engineers to update the boom-brake, maximizing its mechanical performance and thus significantly reducing its weight ,by about 30% to 40%, depending upon the model, giving it a smaller and more esthetic design.
Walder proposes a new range of 4 models.
The boom-brake has long been perceived to be necessary only for circumnavigators on the open ocean. These days when it’s unthinkable to start your car without buckling your seatbelt, or to purchase a car without an airbag, we still somehow think that getting knocked senseless by a sailboat’s boom is just unavoidable fate. Who has not experienced the boom sweeping the deck in an untimely and brutal manner during jibing (whether deliberately or not) with consequences ranging from expensive—a broken boom or mast—to catastrophic—a crew member injured or thrown overboard! This can happen anywhere, not just in the middle of the ocean…
Walder’s new range of boom-brakes fits all sailboats, mainsails up to 110m?, with many possible adjustments, without leaving the cockpit.
Guaranteed for 10 years, and purchased worldwide more than 10,000 times, the Walder Boom-Brake is an essential safety device that ensures the indispensable protection of the crew and equipment.
