ABSTRACT:
A versatile, lightweight bar is shown, with multiple places for attachment, to be worn in conjunction with a sailboarding harness, which is fastened to the sail assembly of a sailboard to support a person during sailing. The bar consists of two or more connecting members attached to a rigid curved bar which is, in turn, fastened to the straps of a conventional body harness in the preferred embodiment. The connecting members hook onto the harness lines of the boom to support the person's weight, thereby decreasing forearm fatigue and stress to the hands. The support bar with the spaced apart connecting members has the advantage of allowing significant control of the sail assembly using body movements rather than the arms or hands.
