Four different models of rodkicker are available:
The rodkicker facilitates reefing the sail, it maintains the boom, preventing it from dropping in the cockpit or on deck and it avoids the use of a topping lift. The gas spring, which is sold separately, presses the boom up when the downhauling-tackle is released. For masthead yachts the weaker spring is recommended while fractional rigs, having a relatively long boom, should be used with the stronger gas spring.
Note: delivered without gas spring and downhaul tackle. Mast and boom fittings are sold separately.
I would like to install a rodkicker in a Najad 34, which model should I choose, 10 or 20? And what gas spring? Are boom and mast fittings included with the rodkicker? Which are the most suitable?
