CST COMPOSITES design and manufacture a full range of filament wound tubing as well as pultruded sections for marine and industrial markets. We can also produce custom parts and sections designed to your specifications using glass, aramid and other fibres. We export products to the USA, Asia and throughout Europe offering complete solutions for your composite needs.
After the success Archie Massey and Dan Wilsdon had winning the 2010 world championships with a CST HM2 mast, we saw the need to develop a full component package for this increasingly popular mast.
Part of this development has been a new carbon fibre gooseneck fitting and more recently new resin infused carbon fibre spreaders. Attachment points for stay/trap wires have been incorporated while the finish is in "clear carbon".
The spreaders are available for purchase with HM2 masts, please E-mail Us for more information. More News
CST's General Manager Chris Dixon talks to Sailing Anarchy's "Mr Clean" about the latest product developments during 2010 Moth Worlds.
CST's recent results with dinghy spars continue to build upon our already well established record. Over the past eighteen months CST spars have won 8 world and 17 national championships - visit our 2010 results page to view details.
CST is developing its technology based production and creating products that are fine tuned for performance. Our latest development, CST Nano Spars™, utilises materials which to our knowledge are the highest performance carbon based products ever offered in the dinghy or yacht racing arena - materials with even higher performance parameters than those used in America's Cup and Volvo 70 craft.
On the back of our success in the dinghy market, CST is expanding its yachting range based on our already proven technology.
The demand for lighter, stronger and stiffer structures and components has led various industries to move from steel to composites, for example in machine rollers for paper, textile and plastics manufacturing equipment, as well as other applications such as Australian Navy mine-hunting and sonar equipment, covered awnings and annexe poles, movie camera and microphone booms.
CST has also supplied tubes for various aerospace applications, wind turbines and even for nuclear fuel handling systems. With increased demand for composites in industrial applications CST expects to further grow its operations in this sector.
