Boomstrut

• Six sizes to suit yachts up to 12m/40ft LOA
• Patented flexing spring provides fast response and a constant force for vang efficiency
  The boomstrut's lightweight, low-profile design features two flexible coated fibreglass rods which provide the force to support the boom. Pulling the boom downwith a conventional kicker causes the Boomstrut to flex upwards; releasing straightens the rods, thereby lifting and supporting the boom.
• Maintenance-free, durable design
  Eliminates friction and sliding parts.
• Improved performance
  Less weight and windage
• Easy installation
  There's no need to replace your existing hardware - the Boomstrut mounts independently inside the existing kicking strap tackle.
• Simple-to-follow instructions
  The Boomstrut is supplied with complete fitting instructions and more comprehensive details are available on our website, www.bartonmarine.com.
• Mast fitting can use existing luff groove
  To eliminate drilling, the Boomstrut's mast bracket can be slotted into your mast's luff groove.
• Contoured boom fitting
  The Boomstrut's boom bracket is contoured to fit both round and flat boom profiles.
• Carefully designed & constructed
  The Barton Boomstrut has been carefully designed and constructed to eliminate sharp edges, minimise parts and provide trouble-free installation and use.
  
  All parts are from high-grade stainless steel and Spectro grey anodised aluminium for good looks and durability.

The Dinghy Boomstrut

• Ideal for:
  Sailing Schools
  Training Boats
  Trailer Sailors
  Cruising day boats
  
  
• Maintenance free
• Fits in minutes
• No drilling required

With no extra parts or drilling required and is simply tied off at the mast to secure in place, negating the need for drilling. At the top of the rods, a fully adjustable webbing cradle supports the boom and as the cradle is not directly attached to the boom, it does not restrict the boom from rolling around its central axis to follow the sail when reefing.
