Picasso receives new Hall gear during major refit

Picasso, one of the first yachts to be fitted with a Hall Spars Oceanfurl boom, when she was launched 17 years ago, recently had a Hall Spars refresh during her major refit. The boom was changed from manual furling to hydraulic furling to suit the new owner's push button sailing requirements. It received a new carbon mandrel and other upgrades to lighten the boom and lower the centre of gravity of the boat, improving its sailability.
