To extend, or push, with a boom or pole; as, to boom out a sail; to boom off a boat.
To rush with violence and noise, as a ship under a press of sail, before a free wind.
Telescopic boom on a recumbent, to which the pedals and front gear mechanism are attached. As there is generally no saddle adjustment, the boom has to be moved in or out to fit different sized riders. Recumbent riders tend to relax further into the seat as they become more used to the riding style, so the boom needs to be moved out from time to time to take this into account (a cramped riding position leads to pain in the knees).
The spar extending the bottom of a lugsail.
A spar that secures and extends the foot of a sail.
1. A loud, explosive noise heard through a sound system that can be produced by many different actions. 2. A stand for a microphone. A boom stand can be described as being a normal straight stand with an adjustable arm at the top. The arm can be positioned at any horizontal angle and allows a microphone to be held several feet from the base of the microphone stand. Boom stands are used to mic a drum kit from overhead, a guitar, pianos, etc.

Booms can also be fixed to the rear of the procenium arch (Pros. Boom) or hanging from the ends of lighting bars. Sometimes known in the US as a light tree.

1). Laterally mounted pole to which a sail is fastened. Often used during jibing to shift crew members to a fixed, horizontal position. 2). Called boom for the sound that's made when it hits crew in the head on its way across the boat. For slow crew, it's called `boom, boom.'

A long round spar hinged at its lower end, usually to a mast, and supported by a wire rope or tackle from aloft to the upper end of the boom. Cargo, stores, etc, are lifted by tackle leading from the upper end of the boom. Also the spar at the bottom of a fore and aft sail.
Poles used to support the sails.
In sailing, a boom is a spar (pole), along the foot (bottom) of a fore and aft rigged sail, that greatly improves control of the angle and shape of the sail. The primary action of the boom is to keep the foot of the sail flatter when the sail angle is away from the centerline of the boat. The boom also serves an attachment point for more sophisticated control lines.
A boom in the context of windsurfing is a piece of equipment that attaches to the mast, providing structural support for the sail. Early booms were tied on to the mast using rope, but most newer booms use a clamp mechanism for attachments. Booms are commonly made from aluminum, or carbon fibre, and are often referred to as a wishbone boom due to their symmetrical shape.
