A bowsprit is used to extend the tack of the foresail in front of the boat, thus permitting the boat to carry a larger sail area. At the same time, the center of effort is moved forward, which stabilizes the boat, allowing you a steadier sailing course and speed. Since the foresail is moved in front of the boat, there is less disturbed air coming from the mainsail which, in effect, simplifies the sail handling.
Bowsprits are usually easily installed and they come in aluminium or carbon.
If you are looking for a bowsprit, please e-mail us with all the information you can provide, such as boat type/size, size of the foresail you will use etc., and any other information that can help us choose the right bowsprit for your boat.
As a service center, we follow BSI’s recommendations and guidelines. We are fully backed by the factory and we only use BSI supplied, or approved, materials when doing the refits for new or previously supplied BSI projects. This ensures complete visibility and history of all materials installed in the rigging package.
