Offshore Spars is your reliable partner for lifelong sailboat care. Our expertise in marine services goes beyond rigging and spars. We specialize in crafting high-performance carbon masts, the backbone of your sailboat. We pride ourselves on fostering meaningful relationships with our clients from day one, that ultimately result in a continued partnership. Backed by advanced engineering, including detailed Finite Element Analysis (FEA) studies, we guarantee superior carbon composite designs and services that ensure your sailboat performs at its peak.

Autoclave curing

Our manufacturing facility in Michigan holds two autoclaves integral to our carbon fiber mast production. They are essential in our composite material processes and are used for precise temperature and pressure control. Beyond our in-house carbon mast production, we offer autoclave rental services as part of our marine services, providing access to our equipment for your specific project needs.

Rigging

Our rigging expertise is bolstered by over 40 years of experience. We can manipulate even the most rigid materials, such as Nitronic 50 rods, bending them to precise shapes in extremely cold temperatures as low as -76 degrees Fahrenheit. For secure cable connections, we employ advanced crimping techniques using metal sleeves. We specialize in handling high-performance cables and ropes made from aramid, carbon, or PBO fibers, and we also stock a wide variety of ropes in different colors, materials, and brands. We can tailor our services to our clients; whether you need simple cut lengths or complex custom rigging packages, we aim to work to your needs.

Hydraulic Sales & Repair

We are an authorized Navtec, Harken, and Sailtec service center. Additionally, for cylinder repair, we sell replacement parts like hoses and pumps and also make custom hoses for masts. We also refill the gas used in boom vangs. We no longer sell seal-kits; we recognize that there is no simple fix and every sailboat’s hydraulic system can vary widely. That's why we encourage you to use our hydraulic repair services with our qualified in-house team.

Maintenance & Repairs

From the demanding tasks of stepping and unstepping a mast to meticulous inspections and expert maintenance, our team provides comprehensive spar care. We handle every aspect of the job, from scheduling to completion, delivering a seamless experience. Whether you own an Offshore Spars carbon mast or another brand, our skilled technicians have the expertise to maintain and repair your spar to the highest standards.

Painting and Finishing

We offer expert painting services for spars, carbon masts, booms, and poles, delivering exceptional A-Surface finishes. Our state-of-the-art facilities, including a 110-foot autoclave, enable us to handle projects of all sizes. We also have two paint booths at your disposal, which can accommodate most surface finishing and painting requests. Whether you prefer on-site or workshop services, our team is dedicated to providing superior results. We exclusively use AwlGrip coatings for their unmatched durability and appearance.

Replacement Parts

We've built strong relationships with top marine industry brands to ensure we can source the exact replacement parts your rig requires. Whether you're dealing with a worn-out component or unexpected damage, our team can efficiently locate and install the necessary parts. We're not tied to any specific brand, allowing you to choose the best options for your vessel. We aim to restore your rig to peak performance, regardless of its original components.

Offshore Spars provide an extensive range of marine services to ensure your sailboat operates at peak performance. From expert rigging and advanced composite manufacturing to meticulous maintenance and repair, we provide tailored solutions for all of your needs. Our commitment to quality, combined with our extensive industry experience, makes us your trusted partner for a lifetime of sailing. Feel free to reach out today and speak with a member of our team!
