C-Tech Javelin prods & foils

Retractable Javelin prods are made as a set and need no nylon bearings.  Prods must be rigged with the tack line running through the prod to the bottom of the bow.  The prod and sleeve have a combined weight of approx. 1.6 kg and come in a black carbon finish.

Javelin foils are molded and made from carbon and epoxy, with a hard-wearing gel coat surface finish. 

What is a Javelin?

The Javelin is a high performance, single trapeze, two handed skiff raced competitively throughout New Zealand and Australia.  Boats are also now being built in the United States and Canada.  It has a lightweight (70kg) hull and, for its size, a powerful, efficient sail plan.

The Javelin is a restricted, development class - one which has a loose set of rules allowing the freedom to experiment when building or modifying a boat. The class has evolved steadily since its introduction in 1961. To maintain a class "look and feel" all Javelins must have a hard-chine hull shape, straight bow stem, side-decks and a convex fore-deck. Construction materials are unlimited and recent years have seen the introduction of composite materials - foam, glass, kevlar and carbon.

C-Tech's carbon masts, prods and booms can be found on some of the top-performing Javelins in the New Zealand and Australian fleet.

The main Javelin website for New Zealand and Australia can be visited at www.javelins.org.  It contains class, technical, historical and contact information of interest to all Javelin and skiff sailors.
