Barton 44011 – Sliding Pin Boomstrut with Fiberglass Rods, for Boats up to 6m
The Barton 44011 Boomstrut is a lightweight and efficient solution for boom support and sail control, designed for boats up to 6 meters. Using flexible fiberglass rods, it provides a constant upward force to support the boom without the need for gas springs or mechanical systems.
When the kicker (vang) pulls the boom down, the rods flex and store energy. Once released, they return to their original shape, lifting the boom smoothly and efficiently. This ensures improved vang performance and better sail handling.
The system is completely maintenance-free, with no sliding or friction components. It is designed for easy installation and can be fitted without modifying existing rigging hardware.
