Carbon and wood laminated spar section developed by Formula Marine for Turkish yacht builder DSV for a 65 metre 3 masted schooner.
Formula will display the carbon and wood laminated spar section developed for Turkish yacht builder DSV for a 65 metre 3 masted schooner, showing the company’s development skills at their best by combining cutting edge carbon technology with traditional wood design. The booms for the DSV 65m sailing yacht were constructed with a laminate of carbon core and an exterior surface of laminated wood. The final appearance is of a stunning, polished solid wood boom, while being super lightweight and exceptionally strong.
Formula Marine to present unique F² Automatic in boom Furling for sailing yachts
In addition to the aluminium and carbon spars, Formula will further highlight its engineering capabilities by presenting their innovative in-boom and in-mast furling system from F² Advanced Sailing Technologies. Controlled by just one joystick operation which can be located in any convenient position around the yacht, the fully integrated package includes the power pack, controls, industrial control system and all masts and booms. The automated system is totally compatible with the spars and will withstand the rigors of constant use season after season.
Wim Mooiweer, Sales Director of Formula Marine commented: “The Monaco Yacht Show offers Formula Marine a huge opportunity to highlight why we are seen as one of the leading mast builders in Europe. Contract wins such as the supply of rigs for Oyster Marine’s new 885, emphasise our growing reputation and skills in mast and spar engineering.”
Formula builds spars to exceptional standards for a wide range of yachts from 40 – 250 feet. With extensive facilities in the Netherlands and France, Formula can provide not only masts but the entire rigging, fitting and sail package from the deck up, wherever the yacht is located in the world.
