Re: Absence of boom-kickers on a 54
Paul Dowd and Sharon Brown
Ours came with no kicker but the boom does have an attachment point.

Well, like so many things on the 54, it is difficult to compare one 54 to another because so many things changed during the production run.
Just when I think I know this boat, something else pops up that shatters that assumption. The first time this rope kicker thing came up, I was certain I had seen it and it existed on 54s. Then I was on at least eight 54s that were missing the rope kicker. My first thought was that "old age memory loss" was showing its ugly face...well maybe it is. I assume that the 54s with the rope kicker have a slightly different boom, because those booms without the rope kicker have no attachment point on the boom. I still say those missing the kicker were also probably missing the unwavering attention to detail from Henri Amel and his ability to understand the unforgiving sea and his customers.
