allspars and the America's Cup World Series


With the Americas Cup World Series in Plymouth from 10th to 18th September allspars have been kept busy fabricating parts for the marker boats...

allspars were approached by the Americas Cup World Series Management team who were having a few issues with their marker boats.

  • The racing crews were having issues spotting the mark boats against a backdrop of spectator boats, allspars were asked to come up with a solution to this problem. A new mounting bracket for the lights was designed and manufactured, giving 180° visibility
  • The aerials on top of the mark boats were positioned on a mast held in place by dyneema shrouds, they have discovered that when motoring the boats out into any breeze or any chop the masts were moving too much - allspars have manufactured stainless steel struts to eliminate this.
