Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Running downwind in 25 knots on a 350-mile passage from the Faroe Islands to Bergen, Norway, the crew of the Swan 47 S&S Saga demonstrates their standing boom preventer setup.0:09 Two Dyneema preventer lines — one for each tack — live permanently under the boom, secured with bungee cord so they are always ready.1:18 When sailing with the wind abaft the beam, one line runs forward nearly to the bow, passes through a low-friction ring, and leads back to a turning block at the cockpit.1:43 That routing lets the crew ease or release the preventer from the cockpit without going forward to free the boom.1:51 The passage carries two reefs in the main and partial headsail, with a gale-force system behind them near the Faroe Islands.0:20 The key design principle: the cockpit-controlled lead means the boom can be brought in quickly if needed, removing the delay and danger of a foredeck trip during an accidental gybe recovery. Rigging a preventer any time the wind is behind the beam is presented as non-negotiable safety practice.0:41
