How To Rig An Old Windsurf Boom?

The correct windsurf boom position is often a source of debate, but in the beginner phase, it is generally agreed that tie a clove hitch knot around the mast and tie off the bitter ends after passing them through the boom holes or otherwise lead them to a cleat. The boom should be tied on with the tail end parallel to the mast, then pulled down.

Clamp the boom onto the mast using a boom clamp protector, and then pass the end of the rope through one of the holes (should be two holes side by side) in the direction of away from the mast. Pass the rope back. Make sure the boom is not too loose or too tight. Place one hand on the clamp and one on the mast and clamp it shut.

When tying on an old windsurfing boom, it is important to ensure that the boom is not too loose or too tight. This is because when you tie on the boom, the fiberglass mast, and rig up the old sail, the boom will be able to be downhauled further.

To properly rig a sail, gather your gear, choose the right sail size, attach the mast to the board, and assemble the mast. By following these steps, you can ensure that your sail is properly rigged for optimal performance and performance.
