KT CARBON FOIL MAST OVERVIEW

Our Carbon Mast is constructed from a High Modulus (HM) Carbon blend, delivering superior strength and minimal weight. Its straight, zero-taper design ensures a consistent feel while reducing submerged drag, optimizing performance at high speeds. The ventilation-resistant foil section maintains efficiency even in turbulent conditions. At 15.5mm thickness, it strikes an ideal balance between rigidity, responsiveness, and speed, making it perfect for high-performance use, heavier riders, and high-aspect foils.

FEATURES:

FEELING: The ventilation-resistant foil section maintains efficiency at high speeds, steep angles, and in turbulent conditions. SIZE: At 15.5mm thickness, it strikes an ideal balance between rigidity, responsiveness, and speed, making it perfect for high-performance use, heavier riders, and high-aspect foils. ZERO TAPER: Ensures consistent feel and reduced submerged drag. STYLE: For all waves, anywhere, anytime. Small, big. Slow, fast. Onshore, sideshore. Even flat water lagoons.

CARBON BASEPLATE:

Low Profile Streamlined Shape: Reduces drag and enhances overall performance. Seamless Integration with Shim: Easily insert baseplate shims from either side to adjust the board angle relative to the foil for quick and precise tuning. Short Cord Length for Maximum Adjustment: Offers flexibility in mast positioning across all foilboard brands. Slotted M8 Screw Fittings: Allows for quick and easy mast installation or removal by sliding track screws on or off the baseplate.

Armstrong Alloy Masts 2025

Rick — Thu, 18 Apr 2024 07:00:14 +0000

Armstrong Alloy System

The Armstrong Alloy System was designed to enable riders of all skill levels to chase endless experiences on the water.

Its modularity, broad performance range and exceptional build quality empowers riders of all levels to
progress without limits.

Modularity is core to the Alloy System design. It’s fully compatible with all our front foils and stabilisers so as
riders’ style evolves, so can their setup.

Building on the knowledge and technology that led to our industry-leading carbon Performance Mast, the AA mast shape and structure are optimised from top to bottom for an excellent balance of efficiency and strength.

This approach to design and attention to detail is exemplified in the Alloy
System’s specially machined mast top and SailGP-inspired bottom bracket that are crafted from aerospace-grade aluminium alloys.

The system is outfitted exclusively with premium titanium and surgical stainless hardware for a light and highly corrosion resistant setup that’s durable over time. Industry-leading manufacturing tolerances make for a high performance, beautiful fit and finish overall.

Details:

• Hexagonal fuselage shape is inherently strong, stiff and modular for an easy front foil swap.
• The mast section is 17.5mm thick; efficient through the water, yet strong to withstand the loads of
advanced riding.
• Aircraft-grade 6061 and 7075 alloys for excellent strength to weight ratio.
• Titanium and stainless hardware save having to disassemble frequently so it’s easy to use and maintain
with excellent corrosion resistance. Screws are custom-made M7 and M8 x 1.25.

Tech Specs:

• 85cm (33.5”), 72cm (28.5”), 58cm (22.5”) mast lengths
• 75cm, 65cm fuselage lengths

Armstrong Performance Masts 2025

Rick — Fri, 18 Nov 2022 18:35:59 +0000

The Performance Mast range is a clean-sheet design that takes the Armstrong feeling riders know and love to new heights.

Collaborating with a team of America’s Cup foil engineers, we set out to develop a high performance mast to take us into the future. Our design goal called for a unique blend of strength, stiffness, drag and light weight. Combining CFD analysis with expert insight allowed us to tune each section of the mast from baseplate to fuselage connection for maximum efficiency.

The result is a top of the line mast consisting of top shelf materials, new mast section, refined baseplate, reduced drag fuselage connection and new construction method. Proprietary titanium M7 mast top hardware follows suit with a strong, light and drag reducing connection to the board.
