18FT SKIFF
 

CST Composites has been developing 18ft Skiff spars in close relationship with Sydney's leading 18ft Skiff sailors for over 10 years.

This development has seen early success with CST masts winning the JJ Giltnan World Titles in 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007.

A recent win at NSW Championship by Rag and Famish Hotel as well as close 2nd place finish for Active Air in 2009 J.J. Giltinan Series proves that CST spars still remain the premier 18ft skiff spar manufacturer.

CST have also supplies wing sets as well as spinaker poles and booms for majority of the Australia 18 Footers League boats, and have recently developed epoxy carbon fibre sail battens custom made to suit any main sail.

Flexural rigidity is a technical term used to characterise the stiffness of a section of beam or spar. The higher the flexural rigidity, the less a spar will deflect when a bending moment of load is applied. Through various winding techniques, CST can vary the flexural rigidity profile of a tip to give the desired bend characteristics.

 

We apply considerable time and effort into calculating the stiffness, deflections, stresses and weights prior to production of sections. Accurate stiffness models and resulting high production reproducibility leads to unsurpassed mast properties. Much of the guess work is removed and we think this is the secret of our success.
