Boomkicker by Tylaska

Boomkickers are simply the best solution to support the boom and eliminate the topping lift for sailboats 14 to 38 feet. Each Boomkicker uses 2 coated fiberglass spring rods to support the boom. Pulling the boom down causes the Boomkicker to flex upward, releasing straightens the Boomkicker lifting the boom.  Universal fittings for the mast and boom are included. The boom track fitting, standard on larger models, provides additional up travel and adjustment. Boomkicker benefits include:

• 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.
