The light weight, low, profile design features two flexible coated fibreglass rods which provide the force to support the boom.

There's no need to replace your existing hardware - the Boomstrut mounts independently inside the existing kicking strap tackle.

When I commissioned my J24, I fitted a large number of the Barton deck fittings. The Jib and Genoa tracks, complete with Genoa cars with a plunger stop, for example, are still going strong, showing no sign of wear or tear.

The low profile, short length traveller combined with the modular components made it reasonably easy with the Barton Engineers to design an excellent system for my boat. All helping me win the Class Championships eight times.

Well done Barton Marine and thank you for the really good value of your marine equipment

Testimonials

In terms of durability, smooth operation, and value for money, Barton blocks are hard to beat.

I can honestly say that throughout an 86 day, 1720 nautical mile voyage in fairly unpleasant weather at times, the Barton Blocks were superb.

Using an improvised "bosun's chair" from cordage, which was carefully secured to the main halyard, I was absolutely confident that, with the halyard passing through the Barton block system, I could successfully hoist my (none too light!) crew member aloft.

Testimonials

With a need to sheet in the Genoa more accurately for racing purposes, the Barton mini-tracks with cars provided a great solution.

Easy to fit and straightforward to use, their impact on the Genoa set was immediate with much improved windward performance. So much so, that we won the Discovery Trophy for the Modern Gaffers Class in the 2009 Round the Island Race.

The Barton mini turning blocks secured to the aft mooring cleats allowed the powerful gennaker to be easily and accurately controlled by the sheet man.

Testimonials

Last season we fitted a Barton two-car mainsheet (windward sheeting system), which requires no adjustment from tack to tack. Irrespective of whether the cars are above or below the centreline, the traveller is simple, economical and very effective even under the heaviest of loads.

Thank you Barton for giving us the performance we require at an affordable price.

The Boomstrut has not only stopped the problem of the boom dropping when lowering the main, but is also of considerable benefit when reefing.

I am very happy with the performance of the Barton equipment, it puts up with a lot of use and mileage and never lets me down.
