How and why was POWERLITE PBO Rigging developed?
PBO rigging has had nearly a decade of proven success at the America's Cup level, but due to many major technological barriers discussed elsewhere, has never been a practical solution for production boats. Over the course of three years, Applied Fiber collaborated with Tommy Mercer, the West Marine Rigging team, and several cable manufactures to develop a complete turnkey system that resolved all the unmet needs of a practical synthetic rigging solution. Applied Fiber combined their proven and unmatched processing technologies with over ten new system technologies to develop a truly revolutionary synthetic system - POWERLITE PBO Rigging.
