Manufactured from a combination of medium and high-modulus carbon fibres, the location of each layer of material combines to give the mast its unique bending curve. A complete record of each mast is maintained by Ceilidh Composite Technologies as is a copy of the official measurement document. Each mast is supplied complete ready to race with a dyneema D12 vang rope, stainless steel top halyard with dyneema hoist line and a class measurement certificate.
The Ceilidh Europe mast was the mast of the 2004 Olympic Games, with more than 80% of the measured masts coming from the factory in Hellevoetsluis. Each entrant was allowed to resgister two masts and sails to allow for the varying wind conditions that would be experienced. With just 3 years between conception and the games of 2004 the development of the mast was made possible with the assistance of each and every sailor.
Each mast is custom built to the requirements of the sailor and sailmaker enabling a perfect combination. As a result of a consistent manufacturing process it is also simple to replicate a previously built mast to within the tollerances that are necessary for a good combination with the sail.
