The price provided is NET-price, meaning shipment and VAT are not included. Additional duties and tax payments might be required. Taxes and delivery costs are calculated after ordering the goods and depend on the type of client and delivery address.
The lightweight and low-profile design of the Boomstrut incorporates two flexible coated fiberglass rods that serve as the driving force to support the boom. When the boom is pulled down using a conventional kicker, the Boomstrut flexes upward, and upon release, the rods straighten, effectively lifting and supporting the boom. The kit, designed as a complementary addition to the existing vang, comes complete with the following components:
- Two coated flexible fiberglass rods, providing the necessary counterpressure to support the boom and mainsail.
- High-quality Spectro anodized aluminum mast and boom fittings.
- Stainless steel fastenings. Furthermore, the Boomstrut requires no regular maintenance. It has been carefully constructed to eliminate sharp edges, preventing damage to the sails.
The Boomstrut offers several benefits, including:
- Continuous support of the boom in all conditions.
- Mitigation of accidents caused by improperly set or adjusted topping lifts.
- Enhanced safety during sail handling in adverse weather or when sailing with limited crew (e.g., reefing, raising, or lowering the mainsail).
- Lightweight design that reduces windage aloft.
- Immediate and smooth response without the need for constant adjustments.
- Elimination of the need for a topping lift, as it serves as an additional mainsail halyard.
- Compatibility with various types of mast and boom extrusions, and easy customization through simple cutting with a fine-toothed hacksaw.
