| BOOMSTRUT |
BOOMSTRUT |
 |
 |
| With no tension on mainsheet or kicker, the rods will support the boom above horizontal level, allowing to ease out the sail if necessary when running in occasional gales. |
|
Adjusting either mainsheet or kicker tackle will cause the rods to flex : the Boomstrut is compressed, allowing mainsail to flatten or on the contrary to sail under full sail in light winds.
|
|
| The Boomstrut is a system designed to support the boom. |
Boomstrut benefits
• Supports the boom at all times.
• Prevents accidents when the topping lift is incorrectly set or adjusted.
• Safer sail handling in bad weather or when sailing short handed (reefing, raising or lowering mainsail).
• Lightweight, saves windage aloft.
• Immediate smooth response. No adjustments needed.
• No requirement for a topping lift ; it provides an additional mainsail halyard.
• Fits all types of mast and boom extrusions.
Quality construction
The Boomstrut comes in a complete kit ready to install and utilises
your current kicking strap tackle. Boomstrut kit features :
• 2 coated flexible fibreglass rods giving sufficient back pressure to support the boom and mainsail.
• High quality Spectro anodised aluminium mast and boom fittings.
• Marine grade stainless steel fastenings.
No moving parts, no servicing requirements. Carefully constructed to eliminate sharp edges and save damage to sails.
Operating principle
The 2 fibreglass rods are designed to have enough back pressure to support the weight of both boom and mainsail. |
