Hall seamless carbon spars are the perfect complement to the high-performance cruising yacht. The light weight means less pitching and motion in a seaway. It also gives the designer flexibility to put weight into the interior instead of the keel (righting moment).

|
|
OCEAN is a full range of standard and furling masts to suit all production cruising yachts from coastal cruisers to blue water offshore passage makers.
|
|
|
Hall seamless carbon-fiber masts have no peer in the combination of light weight, stiffness, and the ability to tune easily for changing conditions. Hall is the choice of the winning Cup crew in the last two events.

Further a great experience in manufacturing racing mast equipment, Sparcraft offers products adapted to one design boat performances and racing rules .
Rigging wise, Sparcraft has become for a long time the favourite partner of shipyards, racers, and architects thanks to a permanent dialog with different protagonists of each class. The one design requires the biggest reactivity and rigour in terms of conception and manufacturing in order to guarantee the performance, the equity of the products and the control of cost.

Standard or custom, aluminium or composite, traditional or motorized, the Sparcraft booms are optimized for your boat. Their design, manufacturer and ease of operation thanks to our experience, will be appreciate under sail.
|
|
|
All Sparcraft boom sections are available for furling masts. Outhaul cars are mounted in or on top using tracks.
|
|
|
CST manufacture a wide range of standard and custom made booms for dinghies and skiffs, through to trailer sailers and larger yachts. Our standard boom sections are elliptical in shape for optimised bending stiffness in the vertical plane. This gives a lightweight but stiff section. Booms are supplied unfitted, please refer to our 'Help Guide' for information on how to correctly assemble your boom.

Southern Spars has established its place as a world leader in the design, construction, installation and servicing of carbon-fibre masts, booms, composite components and EC6 rigging. Its rigs power a wide range of yachts, from one-design to grand prix racing, cruising yachts and superyachts.
Innovation, quality and an insatiable desire to produce what the customer requires runs through the company’s culture. These qualities have contributed to producing product for numerous race victories, including the Volvo Ocean Race, Vendee Globe, Sydney-Hobart, plus supplying rigs to some of the hottest one-design classes. The same design expertise, manufacturing methods, materials and components utilised on these racing rigs are applied to every rig built by Southern.
Southern’s operations extend to four corners of the world, with centres in New Zealand, USA, France, and South Africa

Carbon composites are known for their:
High fatigue tolerance
Stability under environmental exposure
Exceptional strength to weight
All these features make carbon composites attractive not just for the construction of mast tubes and fittings, but also for standing rigging.
Composite Rigging installed the first full set of Element C6 carbon composite rigging on the Farr 52 Georgia in Auckland in March 2003. This set includes all shrouds, jumpers, running backstays and headstay. These pieces now have over five years of service without incident.
Since that time EC6 has been installed on a variety of yachts ranging from 30’ sport boats to 50+ meter Megayachts.
The first set of EC6+ continuous rigging was installed on the Farr 60 Numbers in the spring of 2005. More recently the Open 60 Paprec-Virbac won the Barcelona doubled handed nonstop round the world race with EC6+ carbon shrouds. Post-race testing confirmed that there was no strength degradation. The rigging has been refurbished and reinstalled for the next event.

CST have just released a new standard range of spinnaker poles. Please select poles by their maximum length, boat size is given as a guide only. CST also manufactures bow poles and receiving tubes, for dinghies, through to sports boats and larger yachts.
The poles can be supplied as bare tubes or complete with machined plastic plugs, selected end fittings and trip lines (bridles not included). There is also the option of including an aramid wear patch and poles can be clear coated with polyurethane for UV protection.

Formula are able to supply quality spinnaker poles in Carbon or Aluminium from 3 inches to ten inches in diameter.
Engineered to suit boat use, we use a mix of custom or branded pole ends and adaptors.

Hall carbon-fiber poles are manufactured using the same aerospace-quality, seamless construction process as our extraordinary masts and booms. Each pole is custom molded on a male mandrel then autoclave-cured to eliminate voids. Hall uses unidirectional, pre-preg carbon fiber for the pole's structure, resulting in maximum strength at minimum weight.
Hall Spars & Rigging spinnaker poles are made for intense sailing. Hall poles save weight on deck, are easier to handle (half the weight of aluminum), and are incredibly tough. Kevlar in key areas protects the carbon from chafe.

In-mast furling offers the final word in ease of sail handling. Years of continuous development and refinement has led to today's most efficient and reliable mainsail handling system available.
|
|
Hand operated SPARCRAFT furling masts use exclusively furling systems equipped with endless screws. This system is the only one allowing for a safe guidance of the furling control while avoiding overfurling, and also it is the only one which may be operated by a single person ( two hands control).
The sections range from 4,9 kg/ml to 17,6 kg/ml and are a perfect alternative to the traditional SPARCRAFT profiles. It is now possible to offer to the yards, professionals or private customers, either a furling or a traditional mast with the same mast base reference and the same running and standing riggings.

The main characteristics of this article are functionality and practicality. The awning is available with either TREVIRA or DACRON cloth.
On sailing yachts, it may be fitted either on both sides of the boom (see drawing), on the foredeck, or on the backstay to protect the skipper.
On motor yachts, it may be installed on the roll-bar to protect the cockpit.
It is manually operated: you just have to free the locking line and drag the awning to unroll it. A slight pull on the line is enough to roll the awning that will disappear inside the foil.
It is a very practical accessory because it may be stopped in any position, thus offering the desired shade and bettering life onboard.
With high wind, the awning may be used as dodger if it is anchored to the rig or to the washboard.
Its functionality sensibly augments if you use supporting arms to be fitted on the boom. In this case, the awning does not have to be anchored to the rig, as it is kept upright thanks to the arms. The boom can then be moved sideways in order to shade the desired area.
This system allows you to use the awning even when you are sailing.
The awning may be used as a rain cover because TREVIRA cloth is rainproof.
It is a practical and fast system to be used. When the awning is rolled in, you just have to take off the arms in order not to have obstacles when sailing.
