Check out that spin 😵‍💫

Super low friction. Seriously high load. Fully underdeck.

This is the furling system we’ve developed for the new Hartley Boats Zen 2 🤘

Machined from a single piece of stainless steel 🧩

No joins = zero compromise on strength or alignment.

The result? Effortless rotation that just keeps going ⚙️💨

Built to handle serious static loads too — think Flying Fifteen level forces 💪

Got a custom boat build or a project that needs something a bit different?

Aluminium Spar Production Update ⚙️

Throughout 2025, we’ve significantly expanded our aluminium spar production here in the UK. From our new Solo dinghy mast and boom now proving themselves on the racecourse, to ongoing development of Fireball, 420 and 470 masts for 2026, our dinghy spar range continues to grow.

We’ve also expanded into keelboat spars for classes including the Storm 18, Sonar, Etchells, Dragon and Sunbeam — all manufactured in-house at our Essex factory using new welding, heat-treatment and CNC capabilities.

With major investment in equipment and processes, we’re bringing more spar production back under one roof to deliver consistent, high-performance aluminium masts sailors can rely on.
