About

The world’s leading supplier of composite rigging to the race, cruise, and superyacht markets.

With extensive technical experience and dedicated customer support, Future Fibres has played a central role in advancing composite rigging. This has enabled carbon fibre rigging systems to be applied across all areas of a vessel, from high-performance race boats to large superyachts.

That same engineering approach now extends beyond marine. Future Fibres develops structural carbon fibre cables for industrial applications, including bridges, cranes, architectural structures and other load-critical environments. These composite cable systems offer high strength, low weight and corrosion resistance, providing a reliable alternative to traditional steel solutions.

Future Fibres is recognised as a benchmark for innovation and quality, offering complete composite rigging and cable solutions tailored to each project. With more experience and operational miles than any other rigging supplier, the company supports a wide range of applications with proven engineering capability.

The product range includes fixed and dynamic rigging, as well as torsional and furling cable systems, all custom manufactured to suit specific load cases and performance requirements. This includes side shrouds, torsional stays, furling forestays, fixed forestays, aft rigging and strops. Supported by versatile cable technology and an experienced design and research team, Future Fibres delivers solutions for both marine and industrial applications.
