Performance Advantages
- Centralised Load Path – Compression loads are taken directly through the centre of the mast tube, eliminating adverse bend effects caused by offset compression in older tenon types.
- Superior Torsional Resistance – The design effectively resists twisting forces from the gooseneck, maintaining alignment and improving rig stability.
- Precise Spreader Geometry – Exceptional torsional stability ensures spreader settings remain accurate, even under dynamic sailing loads.
- Durable Round Bar Design – The stainless-steel round bar is highly resistant to wear. Any wear that does occur after several seasons can be easily corrected by replacing the heel plug.
- Optimised Vang Load Transfer – The main kicking strap (vang) loads are efficiently transmitted through the main tubular bar, maintaining consistent tension across the mast’s raking range.
- Customisable Fitment – The system can be easily configured for specific classes, with the option to add extra fixings if required.
Key Features
- Stainless Steel Pivot Bar – Supports mast compression loads, provides the heel pivot point, and allows lines to be attached through the tube.
- Lightweight Acetal Construction – Offers a cost-effective yet durable alternative to aluminium, with excellent wear and impact resistance.
- Sloped Design – Prevents the jib from snagging during tacks for smoother manoeuvres.
- Halyard Access Hole – 7mm hole to route a halyard below deck if required.
Compatible with various mast heel plugs are available to suit the most popular mast profiles:
AL-9250, AL-9251 & AL-9252
