Barton 44010 – Sliding Pin Boomstrut Size 44010, Up to 6m Boats, Max Tip Load 6.3kg, White Rods
The Barton 44010 Sliding Pin Boomstrut is a lightweight boom support system designed for sailing yachts up to 6 metres (20 ft). Engineered to work in conjunction with a traditional kicker or rope vang, it provides consistent upward force to maintain optimal sail shape and boom position.
The system features two flexible coated fibreglass rods acting as a patented spring mechanism. When the boom is pulled down, the rods flex; when released, they return to their original shape, lifting and supporting the boom. This ensures that the boom remains safely elevated even when the sail is lowered or the topping lift is removed. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
