Formula Marine – carbon/wood mast
Technical details
Producer: Formula Marine (NL)

A recent commission from Turkish yacht builder DSV to build wood/carbon spars for a 67 metre, 3 masted schooner has displayed the company's development skills at their best by combining cutting edge carbon technology with traditional wood design.

The booms for the yacht are being constructed with a laminate of carbon core and an exterior surface of laminated wood. The final appearance will be of a stunning, polished solid wood boom, while being super lightweight and exceptionally strong.

Formula Marine has carbon cure autoclaves at both its facilities in Holland and in France, where the Turkish booms are being built. Formula builds spars to exceptional standards for a wide range of yachts from fast race boats such as the Archambault 40 and Ker 39 to ocean cruising superyachts.
