In smaller boats such as dinghies it is used to control the angle of the sail to the wind on each point of sail. The block is typically attached to the boom by means of a bail, which is a U-shaped piece of metal, flattened at the ends to allow attachment with screws or rivets.

The sheet is attached midway along the boom or at the free end, typically by means of a block.

Modern loose footed sails are cut so that the outhaul is also able to pull the clew downwards towards the boom. Hauling in on (tightening) the outhaul increases foot tension in the main sail.

The outhaul runs from the clew of the sail to the free end of the boom.

Two primary sail control lines are attached to every boom: The control lines (ropes) on the boom act in conjunction with the halyard and leech line to ensure that the sail is trimmed most effectively. There the forward end of the boom is attached to the same stay as the sail's luff (forward edge). If the foot is not attached to the boom, the rig is known as loose footed.Ī boom may be found on small headsails. The entire foot of the sail may be attached to the boom or just the clew. The clew (back corner) of the sail attaches to the free end of the boom. The gooseneck pivots allowing the other end of the boom to move freely. The forward end of the boom attaches to a mast just below the sail, with a joint called the gooseneck. In some modern applications, the sail is rolled up into the boom for storage or reefing (shortening sail).

Because of the improved sail control it is rare to find a non- headsail without a boom, but lateen sails, for instance, are loose-footed. The boom also serves as an attachment point for more sophisticated control lines.

The primary action of the boom is to keep the foot flatter when the sail angle is away from the centerline of the boat. Some delays for other orders are also possible, Complete Rigs for example will take around 48 days to ship.In sailing, a boom is a spar (pole), along the foot of a fore and aft rigged sail, that greatly improves control of the angle and shape of the sail. All sails such as IOM & Victoria sails and IOM rigs (and Custom sails, DF65 by Sailboat RC) will take around extra 35 days to be shipped and K2 IOM sailboats will probably be shipped around 60 days later than promised on the website items page, that is our best estimate, but please take into consideration it is just an estimate, maybe little sooner, maybe little later.
