Duotone Black Series 2024

Care instructions for your boom

Rinse your boom thoroughly with fresh water after every session, especially after use in salt water, as salt residue corrodes aluminum and can cause the inner tubes to seize. Then pull the inner tubes out slightly so they can dry, and wipe down the entire boom with a soft cloth.

MonDelete: Always let the boom dry completely before putting it away. Store it in a dry, cool place, protected from direct sunlight - ideally in a boom bag or its original packaging. Avoid leaving it in a heated car or in strong sunlight for extended periods, as heat and UV rays can affect the materials.

Maintenance: Regularly check the screws, clamps and DOUBLE PIN LOCK system, and tighten or lubricate them as needed. Clean the extension tubes and clamps regularly to remove dirt and sand, so adjustment remains easy. Make sure the seals and fittings are undamaged before heading out on the water.

General: Do not exceed the maximum recommended adjustment, and never expose the boom to impacts or point loads. With a little careful maintenance, your boom will last for many seasons.

What sizes is the Duotone Black Series 2024 available in?

It comes in three sizes: 140-200 cm and 160-220 cm with a diameter of 28 mm, and 180-240 cm with a diameter of 30 mm. All three have a 60 cm XL extension.

What material is the boom made of?

The Duotone Black Series is made of premium T8 aluminum. The boom arms and front piece are joined using BONDED.TECHNOLOGY, where a special adhesive from the aerospace industry “welds” the parts together.

Does the Black Series fit my sail?

Yes. Thanks to two different bend curves, the Black Series fits almost all sail types from all brands. Just check that your sail size is within the adjustment range of the selected boom.

What does a 60 cm XL extension mean?

The boom can be adjusted over the full 60 cm, so you can use it with many different sail sizes. This gives you more flexibility in your quiver, without having to buy multiple booms.

What are iTAIL WAVE and Loop-Loop-Go 2.0?

They are a patented solution for the boom’s tail fitting, guaranteeing a perfectly smooth rope run. This enables more precise power transfer from sail to mast.

How does the boom lock its length?

The DOUBLE PIN LOCK system locks the length securely and also prevents the boom arms from twisting while sailing.

How do I maintain my Black Series boom?

Rinse it in fresh water after use, let the tubes and clamps dry, and store the boom in a dry place, protected from sunlight. Regularly check the screws, clamps, and locking system.
