No exotic materials except:
 
The standard SC50 rudder was replaced with an all carbon fibre elliptical shaped  one in 2004. There were a few SC50's who went in together and had these made to improve their overall performance, particularly to enhance control at higher speeds and reduce stalling.
 
Carbon fibre was also used in the custom radar mount located on the aft deck.
 
And, of course, the spinnaker pole is all carbon, enabling one person to easily control it, on the foredeck with all Harken gear.
