Abstract
The invention relates to a device for adjusting the attachment points of a harness line (2) on a boom (1) for a sail-board or the like. It is in particular remarkable in that it includes a carriage (3) that is mounted sliding inside or outside the boom (1) or in an attached part. The harness line (2) passes through the passage orifices of the carriage (6a-6b) in order to form a loop (4), which allows the user to hang by his harness. The carriage (3) can be locked by an appropriate system. This device makes it possible to correct the position of the loop (4) easily during operation of the sail-board in the water by unlocking the carriage, sliding it and locking it in a new position. The length of the loop (4) can be adjusted by shortening or lengthening the harness line (2) with a clam cleat.
