Pipewelders offers a complete line of carbon fiber products, from outriggers to the previously fiberglass components of towers. Experimental projects are conducted on the company’s boats and then introduced on manufacturer’s demonstrators, such as the “Hatterascal” GT 60 and custom boat applications where weight reduction and increased strength are the goal.

 

A Pipewelders tower with Carbon Fiber hardtop, platform, sunshade, dome brackets, light pods, control box and radar pod all composed of carbon fiber produces a significant weight reduction and increase in strength, lowering the center of gravity and reducing stress on the tower while allowing maximum stiffness in thinner composites. This allows styling the tower to match the boat, especially in larger applications.

This enclosure was made to accept 3 pieces of curved class for the front windshields and 4 pieces of flat glass for the side windows.
