In addition to
our work on rudders, quadrants, wheels, and poles, Composite
Solutions has also been involved in many interesting custom projects
as well. These encompass a wide range of products, from fairly
typical marine and aerospace projects to other, more esoteric
and downright obscure items. We can
accept these projects thanks
to our complete in-house design, engineering, tooling and production capabilities.
Following is a brief summary of some of the unique projects CSI has
been involved with over the last few years.
In the marine field,
Composite
Solutions provides autoclave cured
carbon tubes to Harken for their America's Cup Class genoa lead adjusters. These are
very important,
highly loaded pieces of gear and
must be made perfectly to ensure flawless
performance at the Cup level. 
The crossbeams
for the 46' Curt Hughes trimaran
"Faamasumi"
were produced at CSI (right). They were
fabricated on male tooling from pre-preg
carbon and have been put to the test in and around Maine with no problems. CSI built the daggerboard
and rudder for this boat as well.
CSI rebuilt a collision-damaged daggerboard for the ORMA 60 trimaran
"Gitana X" following a transatlantic race. The foil was badly
damaged- the trailing edge was mostly gone and the crash-tip had
broken off completely. The foil was
repaired and back on the
boat within a week.

 Composite Solutions products are in use on high performance autos as
well. CSI built the Hard Bar spoiler designed specifically for the
Dodge Viper.
The unusual section was a challenge but the result was worth the
effort. The performance gain was noticeable and the aesthetic
effect was stunning. This was achieved with practically no weight
penalty. We have also produced the
streamlined noses for several top-fuel dragsters.
Researchers in several fields have also utilized our products. CSI
produced 3-foot diameter carbon/glass
spherical oceanographic buoys. These spheres house sensitive
measuring equipment and are designed to withstand rough use,
including collisions with ships. We have
also built underwater acoustic
reasearch tubes for studies at MIT.
 In the aerospace field CSI has built missile launch tube covers for
Lockheed-Martin and a protective housing for an airborne
ozone-measuring device.
In the medical field we have built operating table extensions and
radar phantoms (used in dental
X-Ray work).
Other miscellaneous projects have included carbon
light fixtures, tables, speaker cabinets, even a
carbon fiber notebook.
Ultra High Modulus
Honeycomb Core
We are ready, willing and able to produce almost
anything.
