Barton 44035 – Sliding Pin Boomstrut Size 44035, 9–10.5m Boats, Max Tip Load 19kg, White Rods
The Barton 44035 Sliding Pin Boomstrut is a high-capacity boom support system designed for yachts between 9 and 10.5 metres (30–35 ft). It operates in conjunction with a conventional kicker or rope vang, providing consistent upward force to maintain correct boom height and sail shape.
The system uses 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 natural position, lifting and supporting the boom. This ensures the boom remains elevated and controlled when the sail is lowered or the topping lift is not in use. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
