Multiplex introduces its new 80 mm Sun Awning Poles – lightweight performance, very flexible and withstanding wind speeds up to 25 knots.
Multiplex expands its proven range of carbon sun awning poles with the introduction of the new 80 mm Carbon Pole, developed specifically for yachts up to approximately 50 metres in length. Complementing the well-established Carbon Pole system used on larger superyachts, the new 80 mm version offers the same high-quality performance in a lighter, more compact format perfectly suited to smaller and medium-sized superyachts.
The new 80 mm Carbon Pole has been engineered to provide an optimal balance between strength and weight, delivering excellent stability while making everyday handling considerably easier for the crew. Thanks to its advanced carbon fibre construction, the 80 mm pole offers a superior strength-to-weight ratio compared with conventional stainless steel poles. The substantial reduction in weight simplifies transportation, storage, and installation, allowing crews to set up and remove sun awnings quickly and efficiently without the need for special tools.
The elegant exposed carbon finish also enhances the overall aesthetic of modern yachts, creating a sophisticated appearance that perfectly complements contemporary exterior designs. At the same time, the material provides excellent resistance to corrosion, UV radiation, and the demanding conditions of the marine environment, ensuring long-term durability with minimal maintenance. The 80 mm poles withstand wind speeds up to 25 knots, equivalent to wind force 6. Another key advantage of the new system is its flexibility. The 80 mm Carbon Pole can be adapted to various mounting solutions and is compatible with deck sockets ranging from 30 mm up to 80 mm in diameter. This makes it an ideal choice for both new builds and refit projects, offering designers, shipyards, and owners greater freedom when integrating sun protection solutions.
With the launch of the 80 mm Sun Awning Pole, multiplex further strengthens its commitment to innovative lightweight engineering. By offering a dedicated solution for yachts up to 50 metres, multiplex provides the perfect carbon pole solution for every yacht size — combining performance, durability, ease of operation, and refined design.
