Natural: As standard Dinghy spars and spinnaker poles are supplied natural with no additional painted finish. The resin<br />
system used in the manufacture of our carbon spars includes a UV inhibitor to protect the epoxy resin from the harmful<br />
effects of prolonged exposure to sunlight. A black pigment is also added to the resin to further improve UV resistance.<br />
A natural finish and the limited UV resistance it provides is ideal for spars where weight and cost are critical<br />
considerations.<br />
Basic: Our basic finish is applied as standard to all our keelboat spars. We lightly abrade the surface of the spar<br />
and then apply two coats of a UV resistant, epoxy based coating. This clear sacrificial coating provides<br />
excellent protection but may need to be sanded and over coated a number of times over the life of the spar.<br />
Superior Clear: All our yacht spars are supplied with the Superior Clear finish. In this process spars are<br />
fully sanded and then painted with up to seven coats of clear epoxy coating. The result is the deep shine<br />
viper pattern that make our spars stand out and provides many years of protection.<br />
Superior Solid: This is the same finish as superior clear but instead a solid pigment is used in the<br />
epoxy coating. A wide choice of colours is available and charts are available upon request.<br />
Ultimate Solid: Our ultimate finish provides a completely smooth outer surface to the spar. The<br />
process includes fully sanding the spar, fairing the surface using a compound and then applying<br />
a solid colour painted finish.<br />
