Southern Spars Rigging

Bladerider are the International dealers for high modulus International Moth carbon masts, booms and products on behalf of Southern Spars.

The two-piece masts are constructed from pre-preg and high modulus carbon fibre and come in a choice two different stiffness depending on your body weight. The standard mast will suit most existing sails and average weight sailors, however a much stiffer mast is available to sailors over 80kg.

Using a 40mm section and special building techniques, the mast has an absolute minimal weight at about approx 2kg fully rigged. The two piece join even has a locating screw so the top of the mast won't twist around on you when you are putting your cams on.

Each mast will also come fitted with a stainless steel hounds fitting, mast top cap, carbon prodder fitting, mase base with pin, 1/4" hole for the gooseneck bolt, extra long mast base pin and a 6mm eye becket fitted to the base of the mast for the cunningham attachment.

The high modulus boom is oval shaped section, and it comes complete with gooseneck fitting and bolt, internal vang attachment, mainsheet rachet pulley loop, an exit block at the end of the boom and an internal pulley at the gooseneck for outhaul adjustments.

Southern Spars also supply carbon rigging for your mast and rear wing bar brace, at a tiny 2mm diameter they are 75% lighter than wire rigging. The stays come in a large reel protecting them from any damage in transport.
