Naish Jet Carbon Hydrofoil Mast

The 35% unidirectional carbon content provides a noticeable increase in stiffness compared to standard aluminum masts. This rigidity translates to more direct feedback from the foil, allowing for more precise control and immediate response during turns.

The mast uses an M8 hardware thread size, which is a standard configuration for many hydrofoil systems. However, you should verify that your specific fuselage or base plate is compatible with M8 hardware before purchasing.

The foam core is primarily designed to keep the mast lightweight without sacrificing structural integrity. Because the mast is sealed and features corrosion-resistant inserts, the core remains protected from water intrusion, ensuring the mast maintains its performance characteristics over time.

Yes, it is specifically engineered for saltwater environments. It features stainless steel inserts and a specialized connector that acts as a barrier to prevent galvanic corrosion, which is common when mixing metals in saltwater.

The mast comes with two 35mm M8 T30 Torx head screws. You will need a T30 Torx driver to install them.

Yes, the streamlined profile is designed to reduce drag as you move through the water. While it won't replace skill, it allows for a more efficient glide and smoother transitions, which helps maintain speed through turns and maneuvers.
