Hoyt™Jib BoomSystem

Easy, automatic tacking and jibing.  As your boat tacks or bears off to sail downwind, and the sheets are eased, the Hoyt Jib Boom ™ maintains precise control of the jib, especially the leech. This results in remarkable performance improvement and ease of handling.

Proven on thousands of sailboats and numerous trans-oceanic passages.

• White Powder Coated (base only)
• Perfect trim of your 100% self-tacking jib - sailing Wing and Wing is actually easy!

“The Hoyt Jib Boom™ is one of the best cruising innovations I have seen or used”. Ken Read, Vice President, North Sails

“Hundreds of Island Packets with these Hoyt Boom™ staysail rigs have now logged countless miles cruising worldwide in all varieties of conditions. I’d be hard pressed to improve on any aspect of this setup and would heartily recommend it to all cruising sailors”. Bob Johnson, President/Island Packet Yachts

Sail easier, smoother and faster with your Hoyt Jib Boom.

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®.
