The list of vessels using Spartite is simply too long to even contemplate. From enormous super yachts, through to quite small yachts. Spartite is easily the largest most commonly accepted method of supporting a mast at deck level. A few well known examples are Falcon, Morning Glory, Sayonara, Pyewacket, Thalia, Wallygator even the 19 foot Lightning.

Spartite

Spartite is an easy to use, castable deck chock system which replaces the wedges or plastic block normally used to position yacht masts at deck level. Consisting of two pre-measured pots of liquid plastic, Spartite is poured into the gap between mast and partners and then left to cure. The resulting chock is a slightly flexible but permanent chock which can be re-used if the mast is removed. Major benefits of this system include a perfect fit to any shape mast and collar, exceptional ability to absorb and distribute mast loads without creating hard points, it will greatly reduce or eliminate leaking at the partners and it eliminates the worrisome experience of pumping or dropping a mast wedge out.

Spartite is offered in different sizes of kit depending on the volume to be filled. Each kit contains pre-measured pots of Spartite, detailed instructions, as well as plastic glove, pouring cup, closed cell foam strips, modelling clay, stirring stick etc.

Spartite will hold its own shape in as little as two hours after pouring. Spartite can be installed at temperatures as low as 10 degrees Celsius and will cure enough to go sailing in as little as 48 hours in 25 deg Celsius. At less than 10 degrees C curing is markedly slowed and a bare light bulb can often be used as a small heat source to keep things warm with minimal fire risk.

As well as this information on Spartite, we have a colour brochure which we can send to you by post, please do not hesitate to ask for a copy to be posted.
