Composites specialists Magma Structures (Portsmouth, Hampshire, UK) reported on June 14 that it has delivered three of what it says are the world’s tallest carbon fiber composite free-standing masts. The rigs are designed to withstand bending loads of more than 40 Mn — more than twice the load on a Boeing 787 Dreamliner wing. The masts were ordered by a German shipyard and are destined for a sailing superyacht.Built at Magma Structures’ waterside manufacturing facility near Portsmouth, the masts have taken more than three years to develop, test, design and build using advanced composite manufacturing processes. More than 70 people have worked on the build of the rigs, including an in-house team of specialist composite design engineers.
