Barton Marine 44011 Boomstrut Black for Boats Up To 20'

The Barton Marine 44011 Boomstrut is a maintenance-free boom support system designed for sailboats up to 6 meters (20 feet) in length with a maximum boom tip weight of 6.3 kg (14 lbs). This innovative rigging accessory works alongside your existing kicker or rope vang to create upward lift on the boom, maintaining optimal sail shape even in light wind conditions.

Key Features:

• Patented flexing spring design provides fast response and constant force for vang efficiency
• Two flexible coated fiberglass rods create lift to support the boom without topping lift
• Black finish with anodized aluminum boom and mast fittings for durability and corrosion resistance
• Lightweight, low-profile design reduces weight and windage aloft
• Friction-free operation with no sliding parts for maintenance-free performance
• Compatible with wooden, carbon fiber, and aluminum spars

Easy Installation:

• Mounts independently inside existing kicking strap tackle—no hardware replacement needed
• Mast bracket can slot into existing luff groove to eliminate drilling
• Contoured boom bracket fits both round and flat boom profiles
• Complete fitting instructions included

The Boomstrut prevents the boom from falling onto the boat when the sail is lowered or topping lift is released. Pulling the boom down with a conventional kicker causes the Boomstrut to flex; releasing straightens the rods to lift and support the boom. Constructed from high-grade stainless steel and anodized aluminum with carefully designed edges to minimize parts and ensure trouble-free use. Spare parts available.
