Barton 44040 – Sliding Pin Boomstrut Size 44040, 10.5–12m Boats, Max Tip Load 23kg, White Rods
The Barton 44040 Sliding Pin Boomstrut is a heavy-duty boom support system designed for larger yachts between 10.5 and 12 metres (30–40 ft). It operates in conjunction with a conventional kicker or rope vang, delivering consistent upward force to maintain proper boom height and sail efficiency.
The system incorporates two flexible coated fibreglass rods that act as a spring mechanism. When downward load is applied via the vang, the rods flex; when released, they return to their original shape, lifting and supporting the boom. This ensures that the boom remains safely elevated when the sail is lowered or the topping lift is removed. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
