We all know that the B&R rig is in more danger of an accidental gybe when running as the boom can't be let out as much. Recently on a 3 day passage I got caught twice by thunderstorms that resulted in a couple of nasty crash gybes. So now I'm looking into boom brakes (not preventers) for my 410. It seems they all attach mid boom, but the B&R rig is end sheeted and I don't feel the boom at mid point is as strong as one that uses mid boom sheeting.
Wondering what other B&R rig users are using as boom brakes (not preventers).
