 Cytec Engineered Materials is dedicated to providing the marine industry with next-generation technoloy. The offical supplier of pre-preg materials to Team New Zealand, Cytec contributed to winning the America's Cup in 1995, and its successful defense in 2000.
Through participation in several America's Cup programs, Cytec has developed considerable manufacturing and applications expertise in the fabrication of marine structures that must survive stressful, extreme-sea environments.
The upcoming Mirabella V, the world's largest single-mast yacht, will have both her mast and boom made from Cytec materials. The mast alone will be 90 meters / 295 feet in height, capable of supporting speeds of more than 20 knots.
This extensive marine experience provides a broad base of manufacturing and equipment expertise that instills confidence in more radical nautical designs in the future.
