Meet the Barton Boomstrut - Black for Boats Up To 20' (6m) — a compact, maintenance-free sail control device that lifts the boom to preserve sail shape even in light winds. Engineered to work with your kicker or rope vang, it provides dependable support so you can trim with confidence without the boom flopping when you lower the sail or release the topping lift.
The Boomstrut features white coated fiberglass rods and Spectro Anodised boom and mast fittings for durability and a clean, stylish look. It mounts inside your existing kicking strap tackle, so there’s no need to replace hardware. The uplift prevents the boom from dropping onto the boat, improving safety and handling while keeping sail control intact.
