P Class masts as from 1/11/21 will be marketed and sold by Graeme Robbins Sails. C Spar will continue to manufacture the masts as per schedule below.
The tubes will be produced to the same design as the “Blue” version. This will utilise the same mandrels as all previous carbon “Blue” P Class mast and track tubes. The decision has been made to produce only the 1 type of mast. The tubes, as before will be produced by Kilwell Fibretube.
To keep costs down, masts will not be finish painted white but have the shrink wrap finish known as SFX. This is a durable surface that will not break down from UV exposure under normal P Class type sailing where the mast is stored out of direct sunlight between regattas. A carry bag is still a recommended item to protect the mast from bangs and scratching. The track area will be coated with durapox black paint to stop moisture absorption into glue cove and the E glass track it attaches to mast.
