Blackgold Racing Spars
The BLACKGOLD RIG is the worlds most advanced Optimist rig.
For many years it has been chosen as the official charter rig for the I.O.D.A World, European, Asian and Oceanian Championships. Several outstanding results have been achieved in the past years. A lot of credit goes to all the coaches, trainers and sailors with whom we
developed this ultimate rig for Optimist racing. For 2007 we introduce a new 45 mm power boom, HARKEN ball bearing halyard blocks and pure Vectran spliced halyards.
Feature for feature, there is no equal to the Optiparts BLACKGOLD set. 45 microns Black hard anodized 7075 mast, a choice of 3 black anodized booms and a black anodized 7075 sprit. All black fittings, hard anodized cleats, a black sprit chafe guard, captive eye straps on the boom, a halyard cleat with becket. Zero stretch, zero creep, black, Vectran line package.

Unlike any other Optimist spar manufacturer we offer a choice of 4 booms :
The 32 mm BLACKLITE bendy boom. It will depower the sail which enables the lightweight sailor to go faster in more wind.
The 40 mm BLACKGOLD MEDIUM boom. A stiff and lightweight boom which is suitable for the majority of sailors.
The NEW 45 mm BLACKGOLD POWER boom. Stiffer to keep more tension on the leech for the heavier sailor.
The smaller bridle gives more space when tacking.
The 55 mm BLACKMAX boom
The ultra stiff and yet lightweight boom can be used without a bridle. This enables the larger sailor to land further forward when tacking.
All booms are made from high grade, tempered tube. Fitted with captive eye straps, black nylon in- and outboard end fittings, nylon outhaul cleat, 4 mm Vectran outhaul and bridle, Vectran/wire vang and outhaul trim gauge. |
