BlackGold Masts and Spars.
The Blackgold Rig was chosen as the official charter rig for the 2003 I.O.D.A. World, European, Asian and Oceanian Championships. Several outstanding results have been achieved in the past years. A lot of credit goes to all the coaches, trainers and sailors with whom we developed this ultimate rig for Optimist racing.

In 2004 we introduced a Delrin high heel plug. The plug enables the mast to pivot with less friction in the stainless steel mast cup. The new plug also prevents wear and corrosion at the bottom of the mast.

Feature for feature, there is no equal to the Optiparts BLACKGOLD set. 45 microns Black hard anodised 7075 mast, a choice of 3 black anodised booms and a black anodised 7075 sprit. All black fittings, newly designed hard anodised cleats, a black sprit chafe guard, captive eye straps on the boom, a halyard cleat with becket, a bead to prevent loss of the hook-in block. Zero stretch, zero creep, black, Vectran line package.
