Dinghy carbon masts

Product catalog summary
Use of Pre-preg Carbon: The document discusses the use of high-grade pre-preg carbon fiber, specifically T700 or TZ, to create lightweight and stiff spars for sailors. The filament winding process allows for a high fiber-to-resin content, enhancing the performance of the spars. The pre-preg used is of aerospace grade and includes a UV stabilizer to ensure durability in sunny climates.
Specifications: The document provides detailed specifications for different carbon mast sections, including weight, dimensions, and suitable applications for various sailing classes. For example, the Series II CC054 is suitable for Contender and Merlin Rocket, with a weight range of 0.511-1.008 kg/m and dimensions of 54 mm fore/aft and athwart.
Autoclave Curing Process: The document describes the autoclave curing process used to consolidate the material into a carbon tube. This process involves applying heat and pressure in a 20-meter long autoclave to cure the resin and ensure a strong, consistent final product.

Dinghy carbon masts-1

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 stiffnessto-weight spar. This, in combination with our filament winding process, enables the highest fibre-to-resin content pre-preg to be used. Autoclave cured The consolidation of the material to form a ready-toassemble 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. 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. Carbon Mast section Contender, Merlin Rocket, National 12, Phantom 59er, Contender, FD, Int.
