Barton 44030 – Sliding Pin Boomstrut Size 44030, 7.5–9m Boats, Max Tip Load 15kg, White Rods
The Barton 44030 Sliding Pin Boomstrut is a performance boom support system engineered for yachts between 7.5 and 9 metres (25–30 ft). Designed to work in conjunction with a conventional kicker or rope vang, it delivers a controlled upward force to maintain proper sail shape and boom positioning.
At the core of the system are two flexible coated fibreglass rods that act as a spring mechanism. When the boom is pulled down, the rods flex; when released, they return to their original position, lifting and supporting the boom. This ensures that the boom remains safely elevated when the sail is lowered or the topping lift is not in use. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
