BONDED.TECHNOLOGY is the unique NORTH SAILS production procedure where the boom arms and the head are „melted“ together with special aerospace-standard glue. This exclusive production technology now has enabled a quantum jump in the hybrid boom segment. In order to being able to bend alloy to the shape of a boom you have to use a pliable and relatively soft alloy. With the new GOLD boom we’ve taken a completely new path, with a boom that’s been literally separated into straight and bent segments. In the bent areas we still use a common “elastic” T8 alloy to achieve the desired bend curve. For the very first time in all straight areas we’re able to use a 30% stiffer, unbendable ALU.TITAN tube.
Believe it or not, due to the BONDED.TECHNOLOGY 8 separate segments are finally fused into one unit at the end of the production process and so ALU.TITAN.HYBRID.CONSTRUCTION is born. The result sets a new industrial standard in stiffness for alloy booms (up to 30% stiffer than common alloy booms). As a result the new GOLD boom almost reaches the stiffness of a high-end carbon boom.
Also revolutionary is the new TEFLONIZED.3-PIECE.TAILEND. The unmatched conductivity of this Teflon coating makes length adjustment much easier. In order to rival carbon booms in racing, we’ve taken over the bend curve, as well as the revolutionary OVERSIZED.OUTSIDE tail end concept of the PLATINUM race boom for the 190-250 length. This means that in comparison to thinner internally placed tail ends, the boom maintains stiffness even at full extension. Propelling forces are transferred entirely free from play and directly via the iFRONT head, whereas comfort is individually adjustable via the flex adjustment.
The shorter lengths have the thin 28mm diameter for relaxed forearms and better suspension, in favor of uncompromising rigidity the GOLD 190 has 30mm strong tubes with non-slip and soft grip. The short lengths up to 1,50cm have an ergonomically ideal new school bend curve for keeping both hands in the same distance from the center of the sail and preventing the rider’s front arm from being overstretched. GOLD – the new industry standard in hybrid booms!

I started using the iFront Gold Booms for 2010 after using the Silver iFront versions for 2 years. I absolutely love them basically because of the quality of the front clamp. the versatile RDM, SDM adapter built into the front clamp, and its very light and stiff. Highly Recommended
