I have been designing building and sailing “sail and oar boats” or “dayboats” for 18 years or so. I discovered early on that there are big advantages to carbon masts and spars. First off the lightness of them makes it easier to rig and de-rig your boat, a job which needs to be as easy as possible.

The boat herself will be happier with lightweight spars, less inclined to pitch and roll.

Sails like these spars too, as well as being lighter they are stiffer meaning sails keep their shape better.

During my time building boats there has been a dearth of suitable carbon spars available for this kind of craft. I set out therefore to supply carbon spars which are made to measure for your boat, whether it is a new home built or a boat which already has a rig from elsewhere.
