More then ever before, Boomkickers are the simple, affordable solution to supporting the boom and eliminating the hang-ups, adjustments and chafe of a topping lift. In light air, lifting the boom opens the leech for a faster sail shape and more speed. Boat performance is improved with less weight and windage aloft. Reefing is safer and easier with better boom control. No topping lift is required when using the Boomkicker.
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. Easy installation independent of the vang. No need to replace existing hardware. Patented flexing spring provides fast response and a near-constant force for higher vang efficiency. The simple design eliminates sliding parts and friction. The lightweight, low-profile design is good for performance and looks. Racing or cruising, expert or novice, the Boomkicker is the simple solution.
