Tempo Spars has been supplying top quality products and services for the yachting industry in Australia and overseas for more than 35 years, specialising in the design, manufacture, installation and servicing of aluminum yacht masts and rigging for all yachts.

Our partnership with Pauger means we are now able to bring the advantages of Carbon masts to all sailors because they are now a very cost effective option.

Pauger carbon fibre mast’s proven technology provides weight and wind reduction and substantially reduces weight aloft. The use of carbon fibre for the manufacture of masts offers four major advantages over aluminium: weight, aerodynamics, stiffness and flexibility. Carbon fibre masts are on average 60% lighter than alloy and 60% stronger. With clever designing they can also reduce your rigging thereby reducing windage and drag.
