Forespar® has perfected the art of manufacturing carbon fiber equipment not only for the blue water yachts and racers but now for the recreational sailor as well. They have manufactured standard composite poles for over 10 years, making their first carbon fiber mast in 1979, ten years before anyone else in the U.S.
Forespar® is the world leader in standard composite whisker poles, spinnaker poles and reaching struts. Standard sizing is 2” – 6”. Spinnaker poles are offered in double tapered as well as parallel configurations. In addition, they custom design and make poles of bow sprits specifically sized for the head sail of your choice; code zeros, asymmetrical chutes, spinnakers or roller furling genoas. Typically a composite spinnaker pole will be 40% lighter than a similar aluminum pole yet almost 50% stiffer. Fixed length whisker poles and bow spirits are 50% lighter. |
