Reduce Stress At Sea: Always Use a Preventer

Here I am in the middle of the Atlantic having to do a job on the mainsail in rolling, unsettled seas, So, it's the perfect opportunity to take a look at the preventer which is not just about sailing downwind with a spinnaker but is just is a traditional piece of rigging that dramatically increases your safety.
