Boat boom vang Boom Kicker

For racing or cruising, Boomkicker is an economic, easy, light and performing system for boats up to 12 m (40 ft). The lightweight, low profile design features two coated flexible fibreglass rods which provide the force to support the boom. Pulling the boom down causes the Boomkicker to flex upwards, releasing straightens the rods thereby lifting the boom. Each Boomkicker is supplied with comprehensive and easy to follow fitting instructions. All fastenings required are included. The boom fitting is contoured to fit both round and flat booms and the mast fitting can slide in Boomkicker luff grooves to avoid drilling.
