Black Series 2023

THE LIGHTEST BOOM IN ITS CLASS

incl. VAT, plus shipping
Variant:

black/turquoise

Item-no. 14220-1400

THE CURRENT BLACK GENERATION IS MANUFACTURED IN HIGH-QUALITY BONDED.TECHNOLOGY. IN THIS PROCESS, TUBES AND FRONT END ARE “WELDED” USING SPECIAL ADHESIVE USED IN SPACE TRAVEL.

The iFRONT 2.0 front end, with flex and stiffness tailored to the needs of specific users, is installed for greater comfort and simple operation. The BLACK range includes two individual bend curves, whereas both short lengths have a modern PROGRESSIVE BENDCURVE and the reduced, comfortable tube diameter of 28 mm. All other lengths have a conventional bending line and a 30 mm tube diameter. For reliability and comfort, the DOUBLE PIN LOCK system helps to firmly fix the boom length in place while preventing the tubes from being twisted. Thanks to the different bending lines, the BLACK series fits with almost all sail types from all brands. NEW: The entire BLACK line is equipped with the iTAIL WAVE fitting, whose patented Loop-Loop-Go 2.0 system for the first time guarantees absolutely perfect rope alignment.

WIDE TAIL GEOMETRY

EQUAL LOAD ON BOTH HANDS AND IMPROVED HANDLING! Also the short booms now feature a 4 cm wider tail-end moving your back-hand further away from the sail. For the first time now your back- and front-hand are equally angled making sailing less fatigue. You immediately realize this much more relaxed sailing position no matter if going in a straight line or down the line on a wave. The second advantage is a much improved handling during ducking maneuvers.

iFRONT 2.0

THE LIGHTEST FRONT-END ON EARTH! COMBINES THE ADVANTAGES OF PREVIOUS CONCEPTS IN ONE FRONT-END:


A VERTICAL STIFFNESS: Unlike other front-ends we use 50% longer stainless steel axle-bolts which are directly connected to the side walls. Thus we obtain a maximum vertical/torsion stiffness, which results in an extremely direct connection/transmission of boom to mast (= maximum performance).


B HORIZONTAL FLEXIBILITY: The partially recessed center of the collar gives the iFRONT 2.0 a kind of hinge function, so that the collar fits to any mast diameter without any gap (= very smooth on the mast and extremely slip resistant). We know of no other front-end that fits so smoothly around the mast and thus effectively protects the mast. PERFECT FIT GUARANTEED FOR BOTH SDM AND RDM MASTS This exceptional fit is guaranteed on SDM as well as RDM masts as the iFRONT 2.0 can easily be adapted through the exchange of 2 different friction pads.

iTAIL WAVE FITTING

FRICTIONLESS ALIGNMENT PLUS EXCESS ROPE STORAGE! The iTAIL.WAVE fitting offers 2 revolutionary details: 1. The patented LOOP.LOOP.GO 2.0 function guarantees an ideal 100% frictionless alignment of the rope! 2. Instead of tying the excess rope around the tube you just wrap it around the integrated “bridge” at the bottom side – the cleanest and fastest solution ever!
