Bei der Kenterung verfing sich sein Kopf in der Affenschaukel...

Die Affenschaukel muß so am Baum festgebunden sein, dass zwischen ihr und dem Baum ein Abstand von
höchstens 100 mm an jeder Stelle entlang des Baumes beträgt.. Dies ist erforderlich, damit sich der Kopf des
Seglers dort nicht verfangen kann.

Your boom preventor must not allow your bridle to exceed 100 mm from the boom.
