I'd never thought of using one. But the rigging company who is doing the
work on the boat was offered a deal from the manufacturer when they ordered
the new boom. They want the rigging company to try one, the price through
them was way inexpensive. . . .so . .why not?

Be a new experience.

Raises the boom in light air, eliminates the toping lift AND looks cool.
