Carbon Fiber components for 

Moth

C-Tech spars (Moth mast, Moth boom, Moth battens, Moth tube sets), have the highest possible stiffness and strength to weight ratios and are produced to exacting standards with consistent bend curves. This is achieved by a combination of fibre selection and placement. The fibres are all high modulus prepreg carbon fibre. These are placed with no crimp (interweaving of layers) and no laps along the the taper. This greatly improves mast strength and consistency of flex curve.

Working with C-Tech for the past year has been an absolute joy. In a development class like the Moth, adapting quickly to the latest developments is absolutely essential to stay on top of the fleet and C-Tech has constantly been looking for new ways to get every single bit of performance out of the boat.

Aero drag reduction has been the main scene of developments in the Moth class. C-Tech’s latest product range is taking this to the next level. It is a major step in the right direction and I am very excited for what is to come.

Moth Mast

About

C-Tech has a range of Moth masts that can be used with all current rig and manufacturer configurations to suit all sailor weights. Standard specifications can be tweaked for individual preferences. The 05 mast range has the reinforcing laminates shifted approximately 400mm further up the mast. This gives the mast a more even bend then previous models. The 05 model also address the issue some sailors were experiencing in certain conditions with the 03 masts blading out the sail in the head whilst not flattening in the lower half. All masts can be ordered with tall rig or deck sweeper configuration. A male mast base adapter option is also available.

Moth PlateBattens

About

C-Tech have developed moth PlateBatten sets with each of the main sailmakers. The battens are optimised for strength to weight with a mixture of carbon and S-Glass. The draft positions and stiffness's have been tuned in over time to keep up with changing rig designs. All battens have the taper designed into the laminate which is cured in our autoclave and CNC cut to width. C-Tech is the Moth batten supplier to Doyle, North and Lennon Performance sails.
