C-Tech Moth Products
C-Tech spars have the highest possible stiffness and strength to weight ratios and are produced to exacting standards with consistent bend curves. This is achieved by a combination of fibre selection and placement. The fibres are all high modulus prepreg carbon fibre. These are placed with no crimp (interweaving of layers) and no laps along the the taper. This greatly improves mast strength and consistency of flex curve.
The masts have relative constant curve mast flex. This means that the mast bends in a relatively even curve which enables easier tuning and a greater range of sail settings. All C-T masts come with the standard female mast plug, but you can ask for a male plug instead. Masts are supplied in 2 pieces, with the tip pre-fitted and ready to join on arrival.
We offer 5 models of mast that are all built using high modulus carbon on our 37mm mandrel. C-Tech keeps up to date with development and works with some of the top sailors in the class to continually improve performance.

Masts
C-Tech has a range of Moth masts that can be used with all current rig and manufacturer configurations to suit all sailor weights. Standard specifications can be tweaked for individual preferences.
All masts can be ordered with tall rig or deck sweeper configuration. A male mast base adapter option is also available.
Standard bend profile and stiffness options are shown below.

Vertical Foils
C-Tech is also the manufacturer for Mackay Boats Bieker Moth vertical foils.
These are an integral part of the boats international success and are made from high modulus pre-preg carbon fibre with a foam core for incredible stiffness.
They are cured in our autoclave using precision alloy tooling. This process means we can achieve maximum stiffness possible for a given sectional area. This is part of the Mackay Boats Bieker Moth advantage.
