Southern Spars carbon fibre mast innovations

The Leading Edge 

Ferrari has entered the sailing world with the announcement of its next-generation 100-foot ocean-racing monohull prototype, Ferrari Hypersail. Meanwhile, the Edmond de Rothschild team nears the launch of its new 32-metre ULTIM trimaran, Gitana 18, which promises to push the world’s fastest offshore class to even greater achievements. Southern Spars’ participation in both these groundbreaking projects further strengthens its leading role in high performance sailing.  

Hardware upgrades 

Landmark launches include the Swan 128, the stunning Conrad C-140, and the stylish Baltic 121, representing a trio of head turning superyachts that will be showcasing Southern Spars’ brand new 15t Autolock Headboard Car. The Southern Spars Autolock Headboard Car is both the lightest and simplest to operate solution on the market. The range is due to be extended with a 35t next year.  

 Southern Spars welcomes the arrival of a new CNC machine centre at their Auckland facility, currently in commissioning. The 12-metre x 6-metre x 3-metre installation will automate finishing operations and enable a parallel manufacturing methodology that will both increase precision and accelerate throughput.  

 

DynaRig 

With three DynaRig projects currently in construction – including one for the world’s largest adventure sailing catamaran (ASC58) and another for a 120-metre twin masted superyacht – a new generation is dawning for the revolutionary automated sailing system. The DynaRig team will be on hand at Metstrade, demonstrating the technology through an immersive virtual reality experience!
