About Boomkicker Sliding Fitting & Vang Plates

Sliding Fitting

boomkicker sliding fitting1.
Fast, easy setup and adjustment. The new fitting consists of 3 parts, the T track, the sliding car attached to the Boomkicker and the adjustable stop. The track attaches to the bottom of the boom . The car is free to slide with the stop set by a spring loaded pull knob.

To install, attach the track, lift the boom to the highest operating position and run the stop up against the car. Adjusting the height later is easy, wether it's for a change in setup, a different mainsail, a bimini, or just to clear heads. Adjustment does not affect downward travel which is handled by the flexing spring rods.

2. Lots more upward travel. When installed the Boomkicker is straight and at the top of it's travel. At that point, the boom should be at it's highest operating position. Although the standard boom fitting allows some further upward travel of the boom, with the new fitting, the skys the limit. This is great for racers during accidental roundups or cruisers who forget to set the vang when sailing downwind in heavy air.

One note: The Boomkicker provides more than enough travel for all but the most exceptional situations. However for more demanding applications and the adjustability, the slide fitting can be the answer for many.

Vang Purchase Plate

boomkicker, vang purchase paltesFrom Boomkicker estimates, roughly 80 or 90% of Boomkicker customers do not increase the purchase of their vang. If the vang was easy enough to pull before installing the Boomkicker, it's usually fine after.

However for customers looking to get more power out of the vang, purchase plates are a relatively easy and affordable way to double the power without buying a whole new block and tackle system. No drilling required. Two sizes available with thick aluminum plates to spread the load evenly over the shackle pins. Harken and Wichard shackles standard.

To double an existing multi-purchase vang, you'll need the purchase plate, a single block for the boom and a cascade line or wire. The puchase plates come standard with a straight D shackle for the mast attachment, but twist shackles are available. Specify if needed when ordering.

The cascade line should be a high tech, low stretch line or wire. The single for the boom needs to be designed for the load and either the line or wire.
