Carbon Fiber Round Tube

Offshore Spars delivers the highest-quality round carbon tubes, crafted using only the finest prepreg carbon fiber. Each tube undergoes a rigorous vacuum-bagging process followed by precise autoclave curing. This advanced manufacturing technique strengthens the composite layers, eliminating voids and maximizing both strength and stiffness.

Our skilled engineers employ a precise hand layup process, providing complete control over ply orientation. This precision through hand cannot be achieved through automated methods. This allows us to tailor the fiber alignment to work with the complex load profiles inherent in sailing applications. Our round tubing is exceptionally well-suited for:

• High Tension: Ideal for forestays and backstays.
• Significant Compression: Perfect for struts and poles.
• Substantial Bending Loads: Excellent for booms and spreaders.

The performance advantages of our carbon fiber tubing are undeniable:

• Up to 50% Higher Compression Stiffness: Compared to comparable aluminum tubing, resulting in less deflection and optimal sail shape.
• Tensile Strength Comparable to A36 Steel: Offers exceptional resistance to stretching and failure under demanding conditions.
• Significant Weight Reduction: Improves boat stability, reduces pitching and rolling, and enhances the overall sailing experience.
