Is carbon rigging worth it for cruisers?
#sailing #carbon #rigging
Materials change but we rarely accept it in sailing... The bad reputations stick with sailors for years but the truth is... Things do get better, some people choose to innovate and force evolution. It could be that the time is here for carbon rigging on cruising sailing yachts.
Today I'm taking a tour of @paugercarbon5078 who have been leading the charge for decades. It seems like we may be finally there, a material that doesn't degrade, loose tension whilst increasing strength and performance a whole heap at the same time.
The question is, what are we waiting for? Do we trust it? There's only one way to find out. Check out @The_Ghostship where I'm going to put this to the test on my own boat.
