After two years of testing the prototype on his Beneteau First 300 Spirit, the product entered production. Originally based in California, USA, Trogear relocated to La Rochelle, France, a region renowned for its maritime heritage. Today, Trogear bowsprits are utilized on over 160 yacht models across more than 25 countries, proving their efficacy in prestigious races such as the Rolex Sydney Hobart, Newport-Bermuda, Transpac, ORC European World Championships, and the Race to Mackinac.

Trogear Adjustable Carbon Fiber Bowsprits

Trogear offers a range of adjustable carbon fiber bowsprits designed to enhance sailing performance by facilitating the use of asymmetrical spinnakers and Code 0 sails. These bowsprits are compatible with monohull and multihull vessels ranging from 20 to 70 feet in length. The unique triangular A-frame design provides an optimal strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring durability and performance. Installation options are versatile, including through-hull, deck-mounted, or crossbeam-mounted setups, accommodating various yacht configurations. The hinged mechanism allows the bowsprit to be positioned upright for sail attachment or stowed vertically when not in use, optimizing deck space and safety. An adjustable bobstay enables sailors to control luff tension directly from the cockpit, enhancing sail efficiency and ease of handling.
