C-Tech 16ft Skiff masts and spars
A recent rule change has allowed the use of carbon fibre spars and masts in the 16ft Skiff Class. C-Tech has several oval profiles suitable for carbon 16ft skiff booms. Carbon #1 and #2 prods are also available from C-Tech. Feedback from Australia on the masts is that the boats are higher and faster with a C-Tech rig.
What is a 16ft Skiff?
16ft skiffs are a uniquely Australian high performance three man dinghy. The class has a long history being sailed for 100 years. During this time the class has seen many developments.
Today's skiffs have a three person crew with two on the trapeze. They have large mast head asymmetrical spinnakers. 16ft skiffs are one of the most popular boats sailed in Australia with fleets in NSW and Queensland. There are currently over 135 boats registered through 12 clubs and regattas regularly attract fleets of over 60 boats.
