Solico engineered the bowsprit for superyacht Polina Star IV

Additionally, it serves as anchor storage and anchor chain guidance. When at anchor, the anchor chain would conflict with a bobstay, which is why the bobstay was omitted from this 3-meter long structure. A simple but very effective solution, engineered on behalf of 2MV and Contest Yachts.

Why are composites used here? 

Lightweight
Composite is widely known for being light, strong and stiff. Depending on the structure and its requirements, weight savings of over 50% can be achieved when compared to traditional materials. In this case, this reduces the pitching moment of the yacht substantially.
