ANOMALY HEADBOARD The Best Way to Raise and Lower a Square Top Mainsail Advantages :: Square top mainsails can now be raised and lowered without the crew climbing the mast :: Gaff battens no longer need to be installed and uninstalled before raising and lowering the main :: Anomaly Headboard and Carriage fits most existing slider systems on the market It will change the way you sail! Using the Anomaly Headboard, square top mainsails can now be hoisted without the need to manually attach the headboard to the carriage or re-install the gaff batten each time the sail is hoisted. Hoisting the halyard pulls the headboard onto the carriage where a toggle locks the headboard into the carriage. System works with both single part and 2:1 halyard systems When the sail is lowered, the headboard slides off the carriage with slack in the halyard allowing the sail to be flaked on the boom.
