Sailing dinghy mast CC0 series

carbon

Use of pre-preg carbon Only the highest grade pre-preg tows of T700 or TZ carbon fibre are used to give sailors the best stiffness-to weight spar. This, in combination with our filament win ding process, enables the highest fibre-to-resin content pre-preg to be used. The aerospace grade pre-preg has a UV stabiliser in the resin system to give the spars a guaranteed long life, even in the sunniest of climates. More fibres and less resin, mean lighter, stiffer masts. Autoclave cured The consolidation of the material to form a ready-to assemble carbon tube is completed in our in-house 20-metre long autoclave. The combination of heat and pressure to cure the resin and consolidate the pre-preg material ensures a strong and consistent final product
