F-One Aluminum Mast Kit for FCT Plane

The F-One Aluminum Mast Kit for FCT Plane pairs F-One's extruded aluminum mast with a top plate and mounting hardware, bundled specifically for use with the brand's FCT Plane fuselage. FCT — short for Foil Compression Technology — is F-One's fiberglass-and-foam foil construction line, and this kit provides the mast component needed to build or extend a complete FCT-based foil setup. The fuselage connects directly to the aluminum mast, and the included top plate handles the board-side connection via a twin-track mounting system with 90 mm lateral spacing between tracks.

F-One machines the mast profile from 6063 aluminum through an extrusion process, with 6061 alloy used in key structural areas. The entire mast receives a full anodizing treatment, and every metal-to-metal or metal-to-carbon contact point is isolated against galvanic corrosion using insulating gel on the stainless-steel helicoil inserts. Two helicoil inserts at the top and bottom of the mast allow quick attachment of both the top plate and the fuselage, keeping the assembly fully modular.

• Material: Extruded 6063 / 6061 aluminum alloy, fully anodized
• Available lengths: 45 cm, 55 cm, 65 cm, 75 cm, 80 cm, 85 cm, 95 cm
• Kit includes: Aluminum mast, mast top plate, mounting hardware
• Board connection: Twin-track system (90 mm track spacing)
• Mast-to-plate fasteners: 2 × M6 × 25 mm tapered-head screws
• Corrosion protection: Stainless-steel inserts with galvanic-isolation gel

This kit suits riders at any skill level who are building or upgrading around F-One's FCT foil platform. Beginners assembling a first foil package — typically paired with a Gravity FCT or Phantom FCT front wing — benefit from the durability and lower cost of aluminum relative to carbon. Intermediate and advancing riders can swap between mast lengths as they progress or move between disciplines without replacing the entire foil.

F-One positions the aluminum mast as viable across kitefoiling, wing foiling, surf foiling, SUP foiling, and windfoiling. Shorter lengths (45–55 cm) are common in kitefoiling where riders want the foil closer to the surface, while 65–75 cm lengths are typical for wing foiling and surf foiling. Longer options (85–95 cm) serve windfoil setups where additional ground clearance is needed. The 80 cm option fills a gap between the two longer sizes for riders who want a compromise length.

Within F-One's current foil catalog, the aluminum mast sits below the brand's carbon mast options in both price and weight. The same aluminum mast is also sold in a separate kit configured for F-One's Carbon Plane fuselage, so the distinction at purchase is which fuselage connection the rider needs — FCT Plane or Carbon Plane — rather than a difference in the mast itself. Riders already in the FCT ecosystem with a Phantom FCT or Gravity FCT setup can add extra mast lengths without buying a full foil package.

Compared to carbon mast kits from brands like Slingshot or North, F-One's aluminum option occupies a similar entry-to-mid price tier. The modular design — where the mast, fuselage, and wings are all interchangeable within the F-One system — gives it flexibility that some competing bolt-together aluminum setups lack. For riders considering the step up, F-One's own carbon masts use the same connection geometry, allowing a future upgrade without changing the rest of the foil assembly.
