Wings
The boat features distinctive wings 9ft wide to allow the crew to achieve maximum leverage and to support the rig. The wings are designed to blend into the hull and cockpit area which optimises aerodynamics and makes it easy to move around. The wings are fastened to the hull and can be easily detached.Â

CST became the carbon fibre tube suppliers in 2021. All tubes are QA checked plus bend and weigh tested by CST to ensure consistency.
The mast is assembled by the class builders. All mast fittings are the same on the 49er and FX so spare parts can be used for either boat.
The spreaders are built from recycled carbon. The mast join system and spreader base was recently redesigned for added strength around the trapeze area.
