A supporting assembly (10) for securing a persons hand to the sail wishbone of a sailboard includes a connected assembly (11) having a pair of mounting devices (14, 15) which may be fitted adjustably about the thumb and wrist, respectively, a connector portion (18) adapted to pass behind the wishbone, and a retention device or bar (16) for retention by finger pressure. Connector portion (18) is formed of flexible resilient material such that upon release of retention device (16) the connector portion momentarily tends to straighten and disengage from the wishbone. A body harness or cable may be secured to connection (23). Alternative forms of the supporting assembly (10) which do not differ substantially from the preferred alternative are also disclosed. The supporting assembly is adapted for use in other sports, for example by gymnasts, or in industry, for example by riggers. |
