ABSTRACT:
A releasable hook assembly for use on a trapeze-type harness worn in the sport of sailboarding. A cord or line from the boom passes through the hook to reduce strain on the sailor's arms. The hook extends outward from a base plate which is supported over the sailor's chest by the harness, and is pivoted to swing outward to release the boom line. A latching engagement of the base portion of the hook to a hole in the base plate prevents such swinging or rotation until the line tension becomes great enough to overcome the force of a leaf spring to disengage the latch. The tension required is adjustable.
