Sailboat mast

carbon

GMT Composites has been building carbon fiber masts for sailboats longer than anyone else in the world. Our masts have sailed in every ocean, including many successful passages around the world, and have competently handled the most demanding wind and weather conditions under sail. GMT masts are light (approximately half the weight of aluminum), safe, dependable, and will make your vessel faster, stiffer and drier. They are less inclined to heeling and hobby-horsing and thus are able to provide a more comfortable motion at sea. Their beautiful finish, compared to aluminum, is easier to care for, doesn’t corrode, and is exceptionally long-lasting. A mast to suit your requirements GMT has engineered, detailed and built masts for an unlimited range of vessels and types of sailing. Whether you own a heavy displacement megayacht, traditional or modern cruiser, a classic yacht requiring a replacement spar in refit or a round-the-world race boat, GMT has the experience and successful record you can rely on. We have built masts from 30 to 140 feet (10 to over 40 meters) in length. GMT masts are built on a custom basis to suit individual vessels, their owners’ desires and the variety of sailing conditions they will potentially face. There are different approaches for developing masts for racers, cruisers, and passagemakers. GMT offers both conventional masts as well as in-mast furling systems. The advantages of a GMT custom solution become clear as this process develops.
