Hoyt Jib Boom™

As your boat bears off downwind, and the sheets are eased, the Hoyt Jib Boom™ maintains precise control of the jib's leach. This results in remarkable performance improvement and ease of handling.

The typical base placement (center of the pedestal base) is 10% aft of the headstay. This is not a critical location, but rather a “Rule of Thumb”.  Various obstacles can obstruct the pedestal base position.  All knuckles are bent to 57 degrees. All pedestals are set at 23 degrees. All angles are calculated on a perfectly flat and level deck. Wedges will be required on many installations to make up for deck camber.  A universal black molded urethane wedge which can be cut to fit is available from Forespar.
