The dual laminate carbon composite construction has been precisely engineered for minimum impact on boat weight without sacrificing the durability required to meet the rigors of modern racing sailing. A carefully controlled combination of full length longitudinal and 45 lateral glass and carbon fibers balance optimum stiffness with resilience to bending and breakage. The tapered tube design further enhances the balance of strength and weight optimization. Unique lightweight grip maintains superior grip even when wet Tapered design maximizes rigidity and strength at the helmsmans end for positive feel and resistance to breakage High grade, UV resistant urethane universal joint provides smooth, uniform movement and flexibility in all directions Snap-on base cover allows quick fitting and removal
