The Barton Boomstrut 44010 is expertly designed for boats measuring up to 20-25 feet in length, providing a maximum boom tip weight support of 6.3 kg (14 lbs). This innovative device works in conjunction with your existing kicker or rope vang to create upward lift on the boom, ensuring optimal sail shape even in light wind conditions.
The lightweight and low-profile design features resilient coated fiberglass rods, which flex under tension from the boom while lifting it when released. This helps to prevent the boom from falling onto the deck when the sail is lowered or the topping lift is removed.
With an emphasis on performance and durability, the Boomstrut features a maintenance-free construction that eliminates friction and sliding components. Easy to install, it mounts independently within your existing kicking strap setup, requiring no replacement of your current hardware.
The patented flexing spring delivers a responsive and consistent force for enhanced vang efficiency. Complete fitting instructions are provided, and the mast bracket designed to slot into your mast's luff groove minimizes the need for drilling.
The Boomstrut also boasts a contoured boom fitting suitable for both round and flat boom profiles, ensuring a seamless installation experience.
