A standing rigging element, in particular a mast (1) of a vessel, is a closed profile. The halves (2, 3) of the closed profile are made of layers of structural textile saturated with an epoxy resin and have a shape corresponding to the shape of the future standing rigging element, after gluing. The mast (1) includes a layer of photovoltaic modules (5) as one of the laminate layers, with a flat set of flexible photovoltaic cells (6) on the outer surface. Cables collecting electricity from photovoltaic modules (5) are routed from each photovoltaic module (5) to common collecting cables (7), connected to the electric power supply installation of the vessel. The photovoltaic module (5) includes layers of structural textile, wherein one of the layers is a layer (10) of flexible photovoltaic cells (6). A method of manufacture of the standing rigging element, in particular of mast (1 ), characterised in that both halves (2, 3) of the mast (1 ) are manufactured, with the halves (2, 3) are manufactured in a mould (15), from placed layers of structural textile saturated with epoxy resin and laminate curing is performed. A series of adjacent, layered photovoltaic modules (5) is placed in the mould (15) as one of the layers. Photovoltaic modules (5) are manufactured in a separate mould, from layers of structural textile, and cured photovoltaic modules (5) are embedded into the mast structure during formation of its halves (2, 3) as one of the laminate layers.
