Carbon fiber sailing mast is as practical as expected
The high strength and light weight brought by carbon fiber composite materials allow the mast to increase the righting moment of the sailboat and reduce the heeling of the sailboat when sailing, which not only improves stability but also increases the upper limit of speed. With previous aluminum alloy sailboat masts, once the wind is strong and the heeling angle is too large, athletes need more energy to control it.
The carbon fiber sailboat mast has high rigidity and can maintain its shape during full sailing, such as the backward curvature, which not only improves the sail shape but also prevents the forestay from slackening and enhances the sailing performance of the racing boat.
What makes athletes feel very comfortable is the reduction in weight, which can save more energy and reduce fatigue. It is a rare improvement and improvement when facing long-distance sailing.
