The wishbone is the boom onto which the board sailor holds. It is the sole means of steering, acceleration and braking - the means of controlling the board. It is designed to run right round the sail, using either two semi-circular sections, or in some cases, two parallel bars, joined at the ends by U-sections. 5, record 1, English, - wishbone
