"Using Super spar masts was a key part of our success over the past three years and especially the Olympic games. The speed we were able to get from them as well as the consistency and reliability in the materials; made it very comforting when sailing in strong wind conditions. We could always drive the boat hard knowing we have the best mast on the market." - Mat Belcher (Olympic Gold Medal Winner)
