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.
