BoomStrut

You will find many reasons to appreciate the new Barton Boomstrut. No more topping lift hassles, no adjustments and no hang ups. Gain improved boat performance with less weight and windage aloft.

  • MAINTENANCE FREE, DURABLE DESIGN ELIMINATES FRICTION AND SLIDING PARTS.
  • PATENTED FLEXING SPRING PROVIDES FAST RESPONSE AND A NEAR CONSTANT FORCE FOR VANG EFFICIENCY
  • EASY INSTALLATION INDEPENDENT OF EXISTING KICKING STRAP, NO NEED TO REPLACE EXISTING HARDWARE.
  • SIMPLE TO FOLLOW FITTING INSTRUCTIONS AND ALL FASTENINGS INCLUDED.
  • MAST FITTING CAN USE THE LUFF GROOVE TO ELIMINATE DRILLING THE MAST.
  • LIGHTWEIGHT.

The light weight, low profile design features two coated flexible fibreglass rods which provide the force to support the boom. Pulling the boom down causes the Boomstrut to flex upwards, releasing straightens the Boomstrut thereby lifting the boom.

 

The boom fitting is contoured to fit both flat and round booms and the mast fitting can utilise a slide in the luff groove to avoid drilling.

The Boomstrut is carefully designed and constructed to eliminate sharp edges, minimise parts and provide ease of installation. All parts are made from high grade stainless steel and aluminium 'Spectro' grey anodised for good looks and durability.

  • Five sizes
    for yachts to 12m / 40ft LOA
