Sailrocket 2 Gets 65.45 Knot World Sailing Speed Record
Tuesday, December 04, 2012Congratulations to Paul Larson and his Team at Vestas Sailrocket for hiking the World Sailing Speed Record to 65.45Knots.
CompoTech Design and Manufacture Structural Composite Sectional industrial components, and within this discipline are specialists in...
CompoTech will continue to expand knowledge in the Cellular, Damping, & Connectivity, Composite Sector and be the prime supplier of that knowledge.
CompoTech provide competitive advantage in structural composite tubes to the world's leading companies.
We help our customers to develop market opportunities and work with them to enhance their products and maximise their cost benefits. This is achieved by optimizing the composite tube, it's production technology, and the use of materials.
A simple and versatile shape, a composite tube can be deceptive. Look a little closer and you will start to unravel the secrets inside this tube's structure.
Found just about everywhere ....Industrial machinery, vehicles, aeronautics, marine. – A composite tube enables the performance of many structures or mechanical operations, and CompoTech has dedicated its efforts since 1995 to developing technology that makes this tube more effective. Whether that's providing stiffness, strength, reducing weight, improving efficiency, or reducing cost.

Made from carbon, aramid and/or glass fibres, CompoTech's tubes are highly engineered and are produced using the company's unique zero degree axial fibre laying process. Although often compared to filament winding, CompoTech's process differs by offering increased performance through higher mechanical properties, in particular higher bending stiffness and strength. This is achieved as a result of a thorough understanding of composite processes, and ongoing research, analysis and design.
These resources and skills enable CompoTech to be a solution provider, not just a tube manufacturer, so customers can rely on the supply of a part to match their needs, deadlines and costs.
Congratulations to Paul Larson and his Team at Vestas Sailrocket for hiking the World Sailing Speed Record to 65.45Knots.
