Barton Marine 44036 Boomstrut Black for Boats 30-35 Feet

The Barton Marine 44036 Boomstrut is a maintenance-free boom support system designed for sailboats 30-35 feet in length. This innovative device works alongside your existing kicker or vang to create upward lift on the boom, maintaining optimal sail shape even in light wind conditions and preventing the boom from dropping when the sail is lowered.

Key Features:

• Patented flexing spring design with two flexible coated fiberglass rods provides fast response and constant lifting force
• Black anodized aluminum fittings with durable black composite rods
• Lightweight, low-profile construction minimizes weight and windage
• Friction-free operation with no sliding parts for maintenance-free performance
• Mounts independently inside existing kicking strap tackle—no need to replace current hardware
• Mast bracket can slot into existing luff groove to eliminate drilling
• Contoured boom bracket fits both round and flat boom profiles
• Compatible with wooden, carbon fiber, and aluminum spars

How It Works:

The Boomstrut's flexible fiberglass rods provide continuous upward force on the boom. When you pull the boom down with your conventional kicker, the Boomstrut flexes to accommodate the movement. Releasing the kicker allows the rods to straighten, automatically lifting and supporting the boom to maintain sail shape and prevent boom drop.

What's Included:

Complete Boomstrut assembly with black anodized mast and boom fittings, fiberglass support rods, and detailed installation instructions. All components constructed from high-grade stainless steel and anodized aluminum for durability and corrosion resistance. Spare parts available separately.
