FLYING DUTCHMAN
 

Our FD rig has been derived from our World Champion winning 18 footer and International 14 masts. Using the same design and testing procedures, we have created a rig that conforms to the current sail shape, yet offers superior gust response through the top of the sail and exceptional rigidity through the base panels.

The CST-453 mast has reasonably thick walls for increased durability and toughness and a small diameter for windage gains and is about 20% stiffer sideways than Aluminium masts which is generally seen as an advantage.

Our Technology is unique and with our design we can taper our laminate such that we get a clean transition where the tip joins the mid panel and also through the hounds to eliminate any stiff spots.

The outside mast diameter is 55mm and it uses Intermediate Modulus carbon fibre in order to get enough stiffness along with a carbon fibre and glass fibre composite track to add stiffness.

Also, with mast total weight down to about 9kg, you will have to add lead to take it to 10 kgs under the current rules.

CST Also supplies a complete range of tubing for, booms, spreaders and spinnaker poles for the FD. Contact us to order, or for further information.
