Welcome To Applied Composite Technologies

Applied Composite Technologies (ACT) has come a long way since its inception in the days before masts made from 'exotic' fibers were allowed by many of the yacht racing rules and classes. Since then we have developed a comprehensive range of carbon fiber sections and now ACT rigs can be seen on all manner of boats from A Class Cats to Maxi ocean racers..

We have spent much time developing our own unique pressure tooling and manufacturing methodologies to produce results which are consistent and of high structural integrity and finish.

Whether you require a bear-bones 'kit mast' or a complete ready-to-go rig, we build to your naval architect's specifications or you can have our engineers design a complete ground-up spars and rigging solution tailor made for your boat. We export to any destination in the world and if you are in Australia, we can personally deliver, instal and tune your rig.

Also, please keep in mind that our work is not limited to spars alone: Many of the boats which sport our rigs also feature our rudder blades and stocks, bowsprits and canard keels. And even though most our crew come from a boat building background, we're keen to design and construct just about anything in advanced composites.

As with any company, we can only be judged by the work we have done thusfar. Many ACT boats have been winners in their class and to date, we have not experienced any gear failure which can be directly attributed to our workmanship or designs. Some of our more recent projects are pictured below.
