New Outhaul cleat launched

New Boom now available

Well done Topper, following feedback at last years Nationals the Topper now has a new outhaul cleat mounting bracket.

As we had all discovered, the old booms with the cleat and 'plate' arrangement with the two rivets were susceptible to breaking at the rivet hole. Now there is a new system available with a single rivet on the compressed upper side of the boom which has hopefully solved any issues. And the new bracket is not stainless steel so there should be less corrosion around the rivet holes too!

Think your boom might be about to break, check the rivet holes for stress cracks. Is it worth the risk now a much improved option is available.
