When Pauger Carbon decided to push both performance and elegance to the max with their latest composite standing rigging product they ensured that it was just as easy to retrofit as to install on a new launching.

Introducing the Carbon standing rigging by Pauger, designed with stainless steel fittings and built to seamlessly integrate with existing rod rigging interfaces. Whether you’re upgrading or installing new rig, Pauger Carbon Rod™  offers unmatched versatility and performance.

Key Features

• High-Grade Carbon Material: Constructed using Toray T1100, which is 42% stronger than standard T700 and 19% stronger than T800, ensuring maximum strength and durability.
• High-Density Carbon Rod: Composed of 80% carbon and only 20% resin, our rods are significantly stronger and have a smaller footprint, making them ideal for high-performance applications.
• Coilable Design: Unlike other solid carbon rods that must be transported at full length, our rods can be coiled, making transport and installation easier.
• Longevity: With appropriate care and regular maintenance, Pauger Carbon standing rigging can last up to 15 years or more, ensuring long-term value and reliability.
• Superior Performance: Reduces weight and windage, enhancing the yacht’s performance by providing greater stability and less pitch gyradius. This results in higher speeds and better handling.
• Innovative Termination Technology: Our patented end-fitting termination process allows for simpler, faster, and more economical production, significantly reducing costs.

Specifications

• Breaking Strength: Double that of equivalent Nitronic 50 steel rods.
• Weight Reduction: Up to 80% lighter than comparable steel rigging, drastically reducing the load on your yacht.
• Diameter: Smaller rod sizes with equivalent strength, reducing windage and enhancing performance.
