Boomkickers are a simple, affordable solution to supporting the boom while eliminating the chafe, hang-ups, and adjustments of a topping lift. Combined with a block and tackle vang, the Boomkicker does everything a mechanical vang or rigid vang can do with less cost and less weight.
In light air, the boomkicker will lift the boom to open the leech for a fuller sail shape and more speed. Boomkickers use two coated fiberglass spring rods to provide the force necessary to support the boom and mainsail. The rods are clamped into hardcoat anodized aluminum end pieces and attached to the universal mast and boom fittings.
