Boom vs Boomless Catamarans – Which Is Better? | Q+A LIVE
Boom vs boomless catamarans – which is actually better?
In this week's Catamaran Sailing Q&A we compare boom and boomless rigs, looking at the real advantages and disadvantages of each design. We also cover one of the trickiest launching situations you'll face: safely leaving a crowded mooring in an offshore wind.
Along the way we answer questions on jib traveller settings, slot effect, preventing pitchpoles, trampoline repairs, mast stepping, FX-One sail upgrades, action camera mounting, MiniCat capsize prevention and much more.
Whether you sail a Hobie 16, Nacra, Dart, Topcat, Tornado, MiniCat, A-Class or any other beach catamaran, there's something here for you.
