Comptip Vs Non-Comptip Masts:

The comptip was added to Hobie masts in the early 90's to prevent electric shock if the masts contacts electrical wires. The Comptip is a fiberglass upper section on the mast that is about 10 feet long. Comptip masts can be identified by a seam that seperates the lower aluminum section and the upper fiberglass section on the mast just above the tang that the forestay and shrouds attach to. Comptip masts also feature a mast head with 2 pulleys that are roughly 2" in diameter vs the non comptip mast head that only has one larger 8' pulley. The full aluminum non comp tip mast also uses a wire halyard with a separate rope portion and can be found linked below.

Instalation:

Feed the rope end down the mast. It goes through the mast head, down the length of the mast and out the base of the mast. If the old halyard is still in place it can be used to pull the new halyard through the mast. You can cut the wire portion off of the old halyard and use some tape to secure the rope end of the new halyard to the top end of the old halyard and then use the old halyard to pull the new halyard through the mast.

Murrays Rigging Department

We use a hydraulic swager that exerts a force of over 10,000 pounds to quickly swage without work-hardening the stainless fittings. Hydraulic swaging produces a cleaner, stronger shroud. Electrolysis is reduced because both wire and marine eye are stainless steel. Wire manufacturers recommend stainless steel marine eye terminal fittings for 1 x 19 wire to assure full rated strength of wire. In all standing rigging applications we use 316 stainless steel wire measured pull to pull. Typically Murrays rigging is made to order and can be ordered to any length. We can add or subtract up to 4" at no extra charge. To order a custom length please enter it in the note field on the checkout page or contact us via chat, e-mail or phone.

A note on coatings. In the early days of beachcat sailing, vinyl or other plastic coatings meant trapped moisture. Our wire rope is drawn though a special machine that prevents any voids. The only way for moisture to wick into the rigging or coorode your wire is if the coating becomes damaged. The coating is especially helpful for reducing mainsail wear as the sail rubs on the shrouds when sailing downwind. We strongly recommend coated wire, which is why it's our standard in most cases. If you would prefer bare wire, please select it or ask for it. It's cheaper for you and easier for us to make rather than stripping the coating after the fact.
