"Awesome performance - just a superb product that looks like it will last for years... and at a great price - James Fielding (Camber Sands)
"...stiffer than anything I've sailed on... and unbelievably light" - Simon Hargreaves (Witterings)
"Love the shape and feel of this boom - have recommended it to our mates at Rossneigre" - Stephen & Kelly (North Wales)
Brand new re-worked "New School" shape... developed to prevent the front arm from being over-stretched.
Better ergonomics: Both arms are equal distance from the sail which helps develop a better (more natural) body position while sailing.
The smooth rounded shape suggests a simplified construction... that of a single main body tube (monocoque construction). Weight and potential connection failures are both reduced.
From 2011, all MK booms are fitted with a new unbreakable twin-pin "super-lock".
...made from a combination of POM and nylon, this material prevents plastic fatigue as well as making them easier to operate.
Own a boom that uses this type lock? We are happy to supply these unbreakable locks regardless of brand.
The MK Carbon Pro II first used this clamp in 2009 and it has proved extremely robust, fast to rig and makes for a really solid mast connection (including skinny masts*).
Manufactured from a tough fiber-reinforced durable plastic, these clamps are capable of absorbing huge forces that protect the precious carbon structures in both mast and boom.
* (skinny mast adapters available separately).
