Rock West Composites (RWC) will be exhibiting at the United States Sailboat Show in Annapolis, Maryland October 10-14. The many benefits of using advanced composites in the marine industry include its lightweight to strength and resistance to corrosion. From spars and spinnaker poles to battens, boathooks and paddles, the applications are varied and offer many boating advantages.

Using carbon fiber, fiberglass, aramids and other materials, RWC manufactures a variety of products that are offered through its online store including tubes, rods, plates and panels. Complementary products include joints, connectors, and telescoping tubing options. In addition, the company offers a vast array of composite materials and supplies for projects of any size, including carbon, fiberglass and Kevlar fabrics, carbon fiber and fiberglass yarns, prepregs and resins, vacuum bagging supplies and more. For those needing very specific strength or stiffness requirements, the company provides custom engineering services to help its customers meet their unique needs.

"Rock West has worked in the marine industry before, but it's now a market we're looking to expand," said Michael Zavell, Director of Business Development (). "We have engineers in our business who are sailors, and they understand the design requirements and ways a sailboat can benefit from using these materials. We know we can add value and have fun doing it."
