Barton boomstrut

[jsl]

I am wondering if I can fit one of these simple-looking devices to a Nic35. Comments/advice would be welcome. Problems that I can forsee are: weight of boom+sail (but that seems to be only about 16kg when weighed at the outer end); distance from mast foot to kicker attachment (1110mm, by my measurement.)

MY friend has fitted one to a Contessa 28 and it works fine, I think they are available in different sizes. One tip, if you fit one, don't fix it permanently until you have checked it when sailing.

I'd rather be sailing... /forums/images/icons/smile.gif
