The carbon fibre boom distinguishes itself by having a low weight, high strength, and a unique design and appearance. Our design team will take all the needs and specific wishes into the design of the boom
Primarily, there are two types of carbon fibre booms. The ordinary boom, known from small yachts, and the Park Avenue boom, used on the big mega yachts on which the size of the mainsail is so bigand heavy that it will require the boom to have ”wings” which will carry the sail when lowered, generally supported by lazy jacks.
Nordic Mast has its own moulds and tools for making carbon fibre booms. Nordic Masts use the same technique and engineering principles for the boom structures as we do for our masts. Nordic Mast is only using leading products in the making of our boom.
Small but very fine details on the PARK AVENUE BOOM as he incorporated track for the boomcover and the suncover are two of the standard features on the product.

The Nordic Smart Boom is available for new as well as existing booms and is made customized in carbon fibre to keep its weight down to an absolute minimum. The primary purpose of the Nordic Smart Boom is that of "picking up" the mainsail when the sail is lowered down on the boom, the boom tarpaulin is zipped, and the sail is stowed away.
Nordic smart Boom primarily targets boats ranging between 30 and 50 ft.; above that, we would recommend the Park Avenue boom. No matter if you have a new or older boat and you are looking for easy handling, a refined look, the Nordic Smart Boom will fulfill your needs.

The Profurl in-boom furlers are dedicated to furling, raising and lowering fully battened mainsail. Hoisting or reefing the mainsail is a simple and safe operation as the control of mainsail is performed from the safety of the cockpit thanks to the furling line. As the opposite of other systems, the Profurl in-boom furlers are designed also to increase boat performances by reefing fully battened mainsail with a standard roac

Selden booms have a wealth of sophisticated features and can be equipped with a variety of reefing systems to suit different boats and the needs of different sailors. The booms can be fitted for traditional slab reefing or Single Line Reef, or be used for furling masts. The boom extrusions are relatively deep in relation to their width, allowing a lighter extrusion with high resistance to vertical bending. This makes them perfect for use with modern, stiff sailcloth and efficient Rodkicker rigid vangs.

Superb carbon fibre composite or aluminium construction with painted finish
Key Benefits
- Accommodates entire flaked mainsail and battens
- Rapid, safe reefing from the safety of the cockpit
- No 'slabbed' sail to be secured or create unwanted windage

Hall Spars & Rigging VBoom is an elegant alternative to the furling boom. The unique V shape captures the mainsail beautifully, and there are no internal parts to service.

Formula understands the science of Carbon Fibre technology, and engineer rigs using finite element analysis. This enables us to confirm the loads before a single piece of pre-preg carbon fibre is cut.

Standard or custom, aluminium or composite, traditional or motorized, the Sparcraft booms are optimized for your boat. Their design, manufacturer and ease of operation thanks to our experience, will be appreciate under sail.

CST manufacture a wide range of standard and custom made booms for dinghies and skiffs, through to trailer sailers and larger yachts. Our standard boom sections are elliptical in shape for optimised bending stiffness in the vertical plane. This gives a lightweight but stiff section. Booms are supplied unfitted, please refer to our 'Help Guide' for information on how to correctly assemble your boom.

Carbon composites are known for their:
High fatigue tolerance
Stability under environmental exposure
Exceptional strength to weight
All these features make carbon composites attractive not just for the construction of mast tubes and fittings, but also for standing rigging.
Composite Rigging installed the first full set of Element C6 carbon composite rigging on the Farr 52 Georgia in Auckland in March 2003. This set includes all shrouds, jumpers, running backstays and headstay. These pieces now have over five years of service without incident.
Since that time EC6 has been installed on a variety of yachts ranging from 30’ sport boats to 50+ meter Megayachts.
The first set of EC6+ continuous rigging was installed on the Farr 60 Numbers in the spring of 2005. More recently the Open 60 Paprec-Virbac won the Barcelona doubled handed nonstop round the world race with EC6+ carbon shrouds. Post-race testing confirmed that there was no strength degradation. The rigging has been refurbished and reinstalled for the next event.

The main characteristics of this article are functionality and practicality. The awning is available with either TREVIRA or DACRON cloth.
On sailing yachts, it may be fitted either on both sides of the boom (see drawing), on the foredeck, or on the backstay to protect the skipper.
On motor yachts, it may be installed on the roll-bar to protect the cockpit.
It is manually operated: you just have to free the locking line and drag the awning to unroll it. A slight pull on the line is enough to roll the awning that will disappear inside the foil.
It is a very practical accessory because it may be stopped in any position, thus offering the desired shade and bettering life onboard.
With high wind, the awning may be used as dodger if it is anchored to the rig or to the washboard.
Its functionality sensibly augments if you use supporting arms to be fitted on the boom. In this case, the awning does not have to be anchored to the rig, as it is kept upright thanks to the arms. The boom can then be moved sideways in order to shade the desired area.
This system allows you to use the awning even when you are sailing.
The awning may be used as a rain cover because TREVIRA cloth is rainproof.
It is a practical and fast system to be used. When the awning is rolled in, you just have to take off the arms in order not to have obstacles when sailing.

SPARS, POLES & TUBES
We have amassed a broad selection of mandrels over the years and can provide spinnaker poles, bow sprit tubes and whisker poles for just about any boat from 14 to 90 feet.

Schaefer Marine's Boom Furling System is the result of years of research, design and sailing. Proven over thousands of miles of use, our unique Patented Articulating Sail Track enables you to reef or furl on any point of sail all from the safety of the cockpit.
It is the most advanced solution for mainsail reefing and furling. The unique Sail Track and feeder combine to precisely transfer any full battened main to the mandrel located within the boom - without snags or jams - and with battens perfectly aligned.
Equally significant, reefing is easily and safely accomplished by one person on any point of sail - without changing course, heading up into the wind or leaving the cockpit.
Boom furling has always been a great idea. It took Schaefer engineering to make it a flawless one.

Gybe safely with Gyb'Easy, the new Wichard boom brake
Why a boom brake? Gybing remains one of the most challenging operations on a sailing boat even for experienced sailors and can possibly generate injuries and material damage. Gyb'Easy is an efficient and safe solution to reduce such risks.
Concept: Thanks to the frictions of the specific line called Gyb'Flex passing over the boom brake, the boom is allowed to gybe smoothly and without jerks. The more the line passes over the openings, the more the friction is increased and hence the brake efficiency.
Settings of the Gyb'Easy: The adjustment is made thanks to the tension of the line. 3 different positions exist for a better adaptation of the mainsail and wind conditions.
Easy installation: It takes a few minutes to install it on a eye strap of the boom. Two different fittings can be implemented to fit with all the deck configurations.
