Technologies and construction details
VT Joint
The VT Joint increases the contact area between the boom and mast, reducing the possibility of point loads and minimizing play in the connection. It can be used on any standard SDM mast and allows for quick and precise boom height adjustments. [web:1]
V-shaped Mast Cup
The mast cup provides two points of contact between the cup and the shaft, creating a tight connection and ensuring excellent power transmission. The V-shape accommodates variations in standard diameters: slightly thinner shafts fit deeper into the V, while wider ones sit further out. [web:1]
Optimized Cleat Angle
The clew block angle is optimized to make line pulling and releasing very easy and controlled, preventing the line from loosening or moving unintentionally during the session. [web:1]
Integrated Boom Lever
The integrated boom lever allows for quick and intuitive attachment and release, with a reduced surface area and reduced weight to keep the front end compact and light. [web:1]
Trim-Pin Lever Design
The Trim-Pin system uses double inserts with an easy-to-operate lock/open lever, ensuring easy length adjustment, optimal load distribution and a rigid connection between the boom body and tail end. [web:1]
