This Boomkicker will work on Capri 22's built before January 2012. Later boats, hulls 1259 and up, that use the Seldén
spars require a different Boomkicker version.
• Keep the boom out of the cockpit and off your head during hoist, douse, or reef.
• Eliminate the
topping lift for less weight &
windage aloft• Faster, easier, safer reefing
• Increase performance by lifting boom and freeing the leech in light air
• Use your existing
boom vang blocks or double the purchase with a cascade option
• Our quick release fittings top and bottom make for easy 15 second removal for trailering.
• Self tending
• Lightweight
• Easy installation. Even the tap and allen wrench are included
• Made of hardcoat anodized aluminum and electropolished stainless steel with spring action provided by flexible fiberglass rods
• New! The adjustable track option is now standard for this boomkicker!
Our custom Capri 22 version includes features to make it compatible with your Catalina Capri 22 race package (the boom that includes the tab extruded along the bottom of the boom):
• Special roll stop hardware to prevent rotation of the boom (see the photo below).
• Custom machined plastic spacers will accommodate the unique shaped "tab" extruded along the bottom of your boom. The spacers fit on either side of the tab and provide a stable base for the Boomkicker bracket.
• A fastpin at the bottom of the Boomkicker makes for quick removal for trailering.
1) When you order a special order item it sets off a chain of events like Willie Wonka in the chocolate factory. Once you turn the valve the chocolate is coming down the pipe. If you then decide you want caramel, the chocolate is still going to come out of the pipe. We can't put the Chocolate back in the pipe, so someone is going to have to eat it, and it's not going to be us! Your order can't be canceled, returned, or magically changed into caramel, so please order carefully the first time!
2) A 50% nonrefundable deposit will be billed when your order for this item is accepted. The balance will be billed when the product ships.
3)
Due to its size, a shipping charge of $12.95 for the boomkicker will be added to your invoice. This charge does not cover shipping for other items which may be on the same order which will be billed based on the standard shipping rate table.
4) During the history of the Capri 22 there have been three different booms used: a) The standard oval boom (the same boom extrusion as was used on the Catalina 22). b) The upgraded "race package" boom with internal outhaul and reef lines and a tab extruded at the bottom of the boom to add additional strength. This boom was used by Catalina Yachts when the optional race package was ordered by the original buyer. At a later date (we believe in 1989) the race package boom became standard equipment and was included with all Capri 22's. c) Beginning with hull #1259 in 2012, Catalina Yachts began equipping the Capri 22 with spars supplied by Seldén Spars. This Boomkicker will not fit the Seldén boom. If you have Seldén spars call Catalina Direct technical support. Click the link at the bottom of the page labeled "Tech Support". Be sure that you have the race package boom before ordering this product. See the additional images at the left for additional information.
