The Barton Boomstrut works alongside your existing kicker or rope vang to create upward lift on your boom helping to keep the desired sail shape even in light winds. The support provided also means that the boom will not fall onto the boat when the sail is lowered improving safety onboard.
But don't just take our word for it!
"The Barton Boomstrut was a great upgrade to 'Magic Flute'. Incredible performance, great value and easy to install. It provides excellent boom support with noticeable efficiency gains from our sails, even in the lightest winds."

The boomstrut's lightweight, low-profile design features two flexible coated fibreglass rods which provide the force to support the boom. Pulling the boom down with a conventional kicker causes the Boomstrut to flex; releasing straightens the rods, thereby lifting and supporting the boom.
