SX8 CARBON BOOM
The
SX8 is a high performance pre-preg carbon boom which presents most of
the superb quality features seen on our top of the line SX10 boom, but it
is made from a standard grade of pre-preg carbon which allows us make a
full body carbon boom at a great price. The monocoque carbon body and
and tail extension makes the SX8 extremely stiff, strong and light.
For
maximum riding comfort the SX8 features a super thin grip. We vary
the diameter used according to the discipline; 25mm for the 140 and 150
boom and 27mm on the 180 boom. The outline is developed specifically
for each size to
promote the best rig dynamics possible. The boom head is
designed for maximum grip to the mast. With a high friction contact
surface against the mast, a robust rope hook and a boom lever that
allows you to effortless apply high-tension when securing the boom to
its correct position. The double pin lock system provides optimal load
distribution
and a stiff connection between the boom monocoque carbon body and the
carbon tail end, even when
maximally extended.
Most of the Simmer Style sails are developed
on SX8 rig components, so for guaranteed high-end performance at a great
price choose SX8.
FEATURES
For
presice load distrubtion the SX boom series all feature the double pin
lock system for a stiff connection between the boom body and tail end,
even when maximally extended.
The Simmer boom head is designed for maximum
grip to the mast. With a
high friction contact surface against the mast, the boom will stay in
place even during hard landings. A robust rope hook for superb stability
and a
boom lever that allows you to effortless apply tension when
securing the boom to its correct position.
RDM SHIM
All SX8 booms include a integrated shim for RDM masts.
EXTERNAL TAIL FITTINGS
External tail fittings provide two main advantages compared to a integrated fitting solution:
1. Lower weight.
2. Stronger tail end. No weak points in the mould.
OUTLINE AND TAIL WIDTH
The
outline and width of the tail are crucial for the rig to deliver the
right balance between power and control. The outline on the 140 and 150
booms are designed specifically for the wavesails with a wider tail and
closer riding position in the front. The SX8 180 boom is designed
for control flatwater sailing. A wider tail generates more power and a
more narrow tail piece more control. This position varies with the wind
strength and windsurfing discipline, therefor each boom size have been developed individually.
