BOOMSTRUT

The boomstrut’ lightweight, low profile design features two flexible coated fibreglass rods which provide the force to support the boom. Pulling the
boom down with a conventional kicker causes the Boomstrut to flex upwards; releasing straightens the rods, thereby lifting and supporting the
boom. The kit is supplied complete for the installation as a complement to the existing vang and consists of:
• 2 coated flexible fibreglass rods giving sufficient back pressure to support the boom and mainsail.
• High quality Spectro anodised aluminium mast and boom fittings.
• Stainless steel fastenings.
No servicing requirements. Carefully constructed to eliminate sharp edges and save damage to sails.
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,
and can be easily shorten by simple cutting with
a fine-toothed hacksaw.
