Sailboat spinnaker pole

carbon

Pre-impregnating high tech process in female mould • Carbon fibres get positioned in the expected direction and therefore the draping according to the local constraints is really well adapted; • The baking process in autoclave oven ensures the optimal polymerization; • The pre-impregnated draping of the fabrics in a female mould results in a perfectly smooth surface, no need to add any coating. Light and easy to handle • a winning carbon / tapered* combination of the section: about 50% lighter than an aluminium pole, i.e. a gain of 4,6 Kg for a middlesized 4-meter pole. * tapered at one end from 100mm diameter No international rating handicap Reliable device • The standard endings are in composite reinforced with fibreglass and the mechanisms in stainless steel (no corrosion). Both are insulated from the tube by a fibreglass ring. • Endings fitted with automatic trigger as well as inside and outside control • Stainless steel screws are insulated • Carbon offers a good resistance against buckling phenomenon as well as a high rigidity • The establishment of 3D models highlights structural forces • The whole range has been optimized after successive mechanical software tests in order to guarantee the longevity of the carbon spinnaker poles
