All black fittings, hard anodized cleats, a black sprit chafe guard, captive eye straps on the boom, a halyard cleat with becket. Zero stretch, zero creep, black, Vectran line package, Harken ball bearing halyard blocks and pure Dyneema spliced halyards.
- 55 mm BLACKMAX™ Optimist boom (EX955). This ultra stiff and yet lightweight Optimist boom can be used without a bridle. This enables the larger sailor to land further forward when tacking.
All Optimist booms from Optiparts are made from high grade, tempered tube. Fitted with captive eye straps, black nylon in- and outboard end fittings, nylon outhaul cleat, outhaul trim gauge, 4 mm Vectran outhaul and a Dyneema bridle and vang.
The Optimist 29 mm Blackmax racing sprit is 19% stiffer compared to the 27 mm Blackgold sprit. It gives more control over the leech of the sail and is especially recommended for sailors over 45 kg.
