Manufacturing of carbon masts is very labor intensive. AXXON doesn’t make any compromise and most of the components are built in carbon : mast head, sheave boxes, head stay and stay sail attachments with the exception of pins, sheaves and eventually spreaders for which AXXON offers an aluminium option. Even the aluminium spreaders are optimized in weight with welded tapper and machined end fitting.
AXXON also offers a range of masts with carbon and aluminium track integrated in the profile.
Everything is made for a maximum weight saving.
In this respect, in order to bring even more performance, Axxon is launching the Thin Carbon Layers Technology – TCL®. The new laminating techniques with thin pre-preg layers allow more weight saving and get the possibility to reduce the mast section and windage at the same time, obtaining a carbon mast which is lighter and more aerodynamic.
For the finishing no fairing is needed (weight saving) as the masts cured in female toolings give a perfect smooth finish.
