From Our Clients

"The Melges 17 is the latest addition to the Melges Performance Sailboats family of high performance, one design products. All 17 feet of this streamlined racer is geared for speed, from its supermodel profile to its 16 lb carbon fiber spar made by Forte. We demanded the toughest, most durable lightweight carbon fiber spar available for this guaranteed edge-of-your-seat racing boat. Forte exceeded our expectations in every way, from their top-shelf customer service and reasonable price to, most importantly, their superior product. "

LEE’s Carbon Fiber Outriggers

Manufactured by Forte: Lightweight, Stiff, Durable!

Built in the USA, in partnership with Lee’s Tackle, our carbon fiber outriggers outperform aluminum outriggers hands down!

Weighing about half that of aluminum outriggers, Lee’s carbon fiber outriggers are stiff enough to handle rough conditions or high drag squid bars. Internal rigging keeps them clean and simple. Finished with high quality 2-part polyurethane clear paint; these riggers look awesome and won’t corrode.

For shipping reference each Outrigger weighs 6 lbs.
