Walking down the dock, the 3700 CCR's rig stands out from the crowd.  A carbon fiber engineering showpiece, the lofty tapered rig sports an integrally molded, strong and lightweight masthead and crane. 

Her double spreader rig is stronger, stiffer, and lighter than an aluminum mast.  This results in an increased righting moment, greater sail carrying ability and vastly improved sailing performance.  Picture having four 200 lb. crew members on the weather rail in all conditions, the good news is you get their benefit without having to feed them or house them aboard. 

Stronger and stiffer mean safer and faster, because carbon can be tailored to meet the changing load requirements in a mast, extra material can be added where it is needed most, this results in a mast that can be engineered with higher safety margins.  A stiff rig remains in tune through changing conditions and results in all of the energy of the sails being directly transformed into the energy that drives the boat.   A yachts rig is the engine that powers the boat, carbon fiber delivers maximum performance, while increasing safety and strength.
