Our carbon fibre spinnaker poles cover the full range of dinghy, keelboat and offshore racing applications — from lightweight dinghy poles to large offshore dip poles. Available as fixed length or telescopic, with end fittings to your specification.
C-Tech has manufactured carbon fibre spinnaker poles for over 28 years, supplying racing teams and performance sailors worldwide. Our mandrel-wrapped process delivers 50% lighter and over 20% stiffer poles than aluminium equivalents, with localised reinforcement and custom laminates built to your exact requirements — from dinghies to superyachts.

Our standard carbon spinnaker poles are available in parallel and tapered configurations for racing yachts and performance cruisers. Built from pre-preg carbon fibre and autoclave-cured, they deliver consistent stiffness and minimal weight. Standard pole sections range from our smallest size — 22mm ID, up to 4.2m (for yachts up to 12ft) — to our largest standard size — 150mm ID, tapering to 9.4m (for yachts up to 95ft). Larger custom sizes are also available. Available with a range of end fittings — Harken, Selden, Sparcraft, Ronstan, or your existing hardware reused on request.
For cruising sailors who need versatility, our telescopic spinnaker poles provide adjustable length in a single lightweight spar — pinnable to a range of intermediate lengths to pole out different jibs and genoas. For example, the same pole can be set to 4m for use as a kite pole, and extended to 6.4m as a light-air Genoa pole. Available with carbon inner and outer sections, custom-specified to your J measurement range.
For larger yachts and superyachts, we manufacture two-section dip poles and custom large-diameter spinnaker poles. Engineered to handle the increased bending loads of centre-point pick rigs on larger vessels. We manufacture two-section dip poles for superyachts and can meet other custom requirements, including kevlar wear strips, jockey poles, whisker and jib poles, and poles sleeved for easy international shipping. Enquire with your yacht’s overall length and we will specify the right pole diameter and section.
We build small spinnaker poles for dinghies and small boats to your specific requirements. Carbon fibre at this scale delivers a significant handling advantage — lighter poles mean faster gybes and less fatigue in a breeze. We can build any small spinnaker pole for your specific dinghy, class-legal construction included where required. Specify your dinghy class and we will advise the correct pole section and length.
