Barton Marine Black 30-35 ft Boat Boomstrut

The black-rod version of the Barton Marine Boomstrut for 30 to 35 ft yachts supports booms up to 42 lb (19 kg) at the tip. Black rods suit boats with dark spars or a more understated deck look. It is the largest strut in this color, and it uses the same longer rods and added travel as the Silver/White 30 to 35 ft model.

Between pins it measures 1320 mm (52 in), and the assembly weighs about 5.2 lb. The rods flex through as much as 400 mm (15.7 in), with 200 mm (7.9 in) of stroke at full adjustment for setting boom height. That range lets you sheet hard in heavy air and still have the boom lift cleanly when you ease off.

Use the luff groove for the mast bracket where the spar allows, and the boom fitting clamps to round or flat sections. The strut can be added next to an existing rope vang, so most owners keep their current tackle. For other boom, deck and line-handling hardware, browse our sailing hardware.
