[quote=windadict]I may agree that barberhauler may be little over kill for the little problem I have when sailing downwind but when I see the mast over rotated to almost perpendicular position in relation to the sail in variuos wind conditions then I think this is not right and need to be corrected. Therefore I am looking for rotation limiter to prevent mast from bending.

Adam, on the boomless boats they are there to INDUCE rotation. Have a look at the final pages of the NAcra manual, (Damon has it here under Technical if you don't already have it).
You mast should freely rotate to where it should be most of the time. It naturally wants to put the leading edge into the wind, the most streamlined position. When going deep downwind, the wind will be from behind you. I think the idea is to rotate the mast further around, to obtain a smoother flow.[/quote]
If they induce mast rotaion on boomless boat, what in this case limits or prevents over rotation? :-?[/quote]
