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
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.
