We then used our experience as mast builders using for the first time the FEM analysis (finite element analysis hence the name chosen), to establish "theoretically" which profile, which mold, which material should be used to have less stress in the most critical areas.

 

A revolution in terms of profile, materials used, thicknesses and distribution of forces, which made it possible to develop a mast exactly corresponding to what we tried to achieve.

​

The first phase of theoretical test was followed by a prototype production which was tested on various sails. The results were excellent. The same working method (FEM analysis + test) is now used for all products. The production of masts, which in the world of windsurfing is historically rather artisanal, has been so elevated to something decidedly more precise and technologically advanced, as it happens in the industrial sectors that Reglass deals with.

​

The curves of our masts are constant. In recent years we have kept this parameter steady. We are among the first to understand it is the type of profile that least stresses the mast and to which all sail manufacturers now refer.

 

The compatibility of Element on slalom sails of various brands is therefore ensured.

Element is built in two versions 100% carbon and 70% carbon. The difference is only the percentage of glass fiber present at 30% in the 70 model.
