DINGHY BOOMSTRUT MODEL 44001
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The Barton Dinghy Boomstrut is designed for sailboats under 5 metres (17’) with boom and sail tip weight of
under 5kgs (11 lbs). We recommend, after reading the instructions fully, that you should install the complete
system, then determine if the rods require cutting. This would mean the strut position may not be correct but
will allow you to measure the downward force required (with sail flaked) on the aft end of the boom to flex the
rods. Units with rods which have been shortened will
not
be exchanged, so be sure that the strut is suitable
before doing so. You may need to upgrade to the 44009 web strut if the 44001 dinghy strut does not support
the boom.
