Barton Boomstrut - Black f/Boats 30-35' [44036]

The Barton Black Boomstrut is a game - changer for boats measuring 30 - 35 feet. The Boomstrut 44010 is perfect for boats up to 6m (20ft) long, handling a max boom tip weight of 6.3kg (14 lbs). It works with your existing kicker or rope vang, giving the boom an upward lift. This helps maintain the perfect sail shape, even in light winds. Made with white rods and Spectro Anodised boom & mast fittings, it ensures the boom won't fall on the boat when the sail is lowered or the topping lift is removed. It comes in six sizes, suitable for yachts up to 12m/40ft LOA. The patented flexing spring offers quick response and constant force for better vang efficiency. Its lightweight, low - profile design features two flexible coated fibreglass rods to support the boom. When you pull the boom down with a conventional kicker, the Boomstrut flexes; releasing it straightens the rods to lift and support the boom. It's maintenance - free and durable, with no friction or sliding parts. It boosts performance by reducing weight and windage. Installation is a breeze as you don't need to replace your existing hardware; it mounts independently inside the existing kicking strap tackle. Complete fitting instructions are provided, and more details are on our website. The mast fitting can use the existing luff groove to avoid drilling, and the contoured boom fitting suits both round and flat boom profiles. All parts are made of high - grade stainless steel and black or grey anodised aluminium for a great look and long - lasting use. Spare parts are also available.

Using the Barton Boomstrut is straightforward. First, install it independently inside your existing kicking strap tackle - you don't need to replace your current hardware. The mast bracket can be slotted into the mast's luff groove to avoid drilling. The boom bracket, which is contoured, will fit both round and flat boom profiles. When using it, the Boomstrut works alongside your existing kicker or rope vang. When you pull the boom down with a conventional kicker, the Boomstrut flexes. Releasing it will straighten the rods and lift the boom. This helps keep the sail in the right shape, especially in light winds. As for maintenance, there's not much to do. It's a maintenance - free design with no friction or sliding parts. However, it's a good idea to check the parts regularly for any signs of wear. All parts are made of high - grade stainless steel and anodised aluminium, so they're durable. If you notice any issues, spare parts are available.
