Abstract
A harness for use in windsurfing which includes an adjustable wrist strap for securing the harness to the wrist of the wearer, an elongated support connected at one end to the wrist strap and which includes a rigid end portion which defines a curved hook for capturing a generally rounded in section boom. The elongated support further includes an intermediate adjustable finger loop which enables an immediate unhooking of the end portion by a backward bending of the hand at the wrist pulling the hook out of engagement with the boom. The harness transfers some or all of the force required to hold the boom to the wearer's forearm to reduce the effort required.
