I’m looking to buy a boomkicker for my O30 and want to make sure I get the right size. The boat I race on bought one and the rods where way too stiff and I’d like to avoid this on my boat. Can anyone tell me what model they used on their boat? Thanks in advance for your input!
I used the ‘up to 28 feet’ one. Came with two sets of rods. I like the heavier ones. I justified the up to 28 because the O30 boom is equivalent to a 28 ft boat in my opinion.
Don’t cut the rods too short!!! When fully relaxed..they should lift the boom just a bit over level. The reason is that when off the wind..if you want a bunch of twist off, the boom could lift out of the bracket. Hasn’t happened to me, but I see it moving towards falling out. That is not a disaster..just a distraction.
