S-shape profile

The clock has long been ticking for conventional boom design, and that’s because the performance has been held hostage by simple physics. It’s simple really; as wind pressure increases, a straight or convex boom effectively becomes shorter as it bends in response to increasing sail load, making the sail fuller, less efficient and harder to manage. (Ask your forearms, they’ve been putting up with it for years).

Everybody make way for the new convention; the ‘S’ profile boom. The unique shape commands the sail to retain its shape and length whatever the breeze, providing a more stable and predictable delivery, and more useable power. The ‘S’ profile is standard this season across
the entire NeilPryde range, so everyone can get their hands on it.

Higher level of heat treatment attained, creating stiffer and stronger arms. Improved corrosion resistance in salt water 28mm Handgrip diameter on all 140 & 160 booms - maximum control and comfort 30mm Handgrip diameter on all 180, 200, 225 & 260 – optimum stiffness and performance

New boom lever

Reduced surface area
Lighter weight

VT-Joint lateral locating button

Locates VT joint side to side on the boom head and prevents side to side movement, while allowing articulation.

VT-Joint

Standard on all NeilPryde booms
The VT-Joint provides a stiffer boom
connection and a more responsive
transmission of the sail’s power while
protecting the mast.

Twin-pin lever actuated trim lock adjustment system

Featured on all booms for ease of adjustment (except the X9 race booms). The Twin-Pin design provides optimal load distribution and a stiff connection between the boom body and tail end.
