Congratulations to Marcus Hamilton on winning back to back World Contender Championships in Canada last week. Marcus was using CST’s contender mast, which he has had for the last 4 years. Not only has his skill and consistency shone through, but the durability and longevity of the CST mast has once again proven it’s value.

Congratulations to Archie Massey and Matt Noble for winning the 2008 I14 World Championships in Germany; and also to Dave Alexander and Cameron McDonald who finished 3rd using CST’s new 57mm series High Modulus mast. The mast which is over 10mm smaller in diametre than it’s closest competitor proved to be a winning formula. Only developed in early March, the mast was used once before being seriously tested in the windy conditions at the World Championship in Germany. Proving it’s strength and durability with a crew who only partnered and sailed together at the World Championships, CST’s new mast is sure to set some new standards. Picture
Continuing on with the success of CST’s new High Modulus range congratulations to John Harris and Andy MacDougall both 1st and 2nd respectively at the 2008 Moth World Championships. Picture Both competitors were using CST’s new High Modulus 35mm mast. There were close to 100 boats competing at the international regatta and the new High Modulus 35mm mast which began development in early February is definitely proving to be a raging success and showing it’s performance edge over it’s competitors.

As part of the new range of High Modulus carbon masts CST has just launched a brand new High Modulus carbon Moth mast. The one piece tapered mast is just 40mm outside diameter compared with 50mm for the previous version. Many competitor masts are still 55mm OD making the new mast 15mm smaller. This will offer significantly reduced windage through smaller cross-section and better leading edge profile. Weighing just 2kg with fittings the new mast is also lighter than its predecessor. More
