Barton Boomstrut – Silver/White for Boats Up To 20' is designed for vessels up to 6m (20ft) in length with a maximum boom tip weight of 6.3kg (14 lbs). Working alongside your existing kicker or rope vang, it creates upward lift on the boom to keep the desired sail shape even in light winds. The uplift is delivered by two white, coated fibreglass rods, paired with Spectro Anodised boom & mast fittings, and it’s suitable for wooden, carbon fiber, or aluminum spars.
