Pure Racing - All AluminiumJAMIEB
After intensive research and development we have created the gold rs, a new high-tech alloy boom which is designed purely for race usage.
The GOLD RS is produced with NorthSails unique BONDED.TECHNOLOGY . The boom arms and the head are „melted“ together with special aerospace-standard glue. This exclusive production technology in combination with a material mix of T8 alloy and ALU.TITAN (ALU.TITAN.HYBRID.CONSTRUCTION) has enabled a quantum jump in terms of durability and stiffness.
This technology also has been applied to the three-piece tail-end that is produced in the same BONDED. TECHNOLOGY method using the same materials.The tail-end-fitting (patent pending) with rollers made of Teflon-POM plastic ensuring minimum friction is also a new addition. In addition now all 2012 models feature an increased 30 mm tube diameter again increasing the bending strength.
As a result the new GOLD RS boom almost reaches the stiffness of a high-end carbon boom. This is also due to the revolutionary OVERSIZED.OUTSIDE tail end concept (now used for all lengths).This means that in comparison to thinner internally placed tail ends, the boom maintains stiffness even at full extension. New: GOLD RS 190 cm and 220 cm have the same boom body, and are extremely extendable thanks to two OVERSIZED.OUTSIDE tail ends of different lengths. As a result, the 190 cm size can now be extended to 280 cm by simply replacing the tail end - without compromises to rigidity! Propelling forces are transferred entirely free from play and directly via the iFRONT head, whereas comfort is individually adjustable via the flex adjustment. GOLD RS – the new industry standard in hybrid booms!
The 2012 Gold RS Series comes in one shape, as shown in the main picture above.
The Gold RS series features Norths' innovative iFront head. The iFront couldn't be better explained by North, on their website.

The iFront encompasses several features which take rigging and sailing to a new level. Tuning, trimming, a tool-less RDM adapter, "Auto Close", rope storage and an adjustable boom flex are all part of the iFront, so if this is sounding interesting please click the link above!
The 2012 Gold RS Series comes in 3 sizes, from 170cm to 280cm it's likely there's a boom that fits your needs. The specifications are 170-210cm, 190-250cm and 220-280cm.
