Section Selection
Choice of spar section is critical to performance. Material,
size, wall thickness,
weight and shape affect both static bending characteristics and dynamic
characteristics ("gust response"). We design our sections to take
class rules
to the limit: - for example the Olympus boom section was designed to be simply
the stiffest 470 boom possible within class rules, while the Vectis exploits the
Snipe minimum mast weight to give a low windage, responsive mast. Whatever
your class, the extensive Proctor section range ensures that there is a mast and
boom available with optimum performance. For recommendations for your
particular class, please consult our specific class data sheet.
