The adjustable competition with the choice of three handle sizes, three blade types (Apex, Apex-R and BB2198), 3 shaft levels of stiffness, choice of average oar length/inboard with +/- 5 cm of adjustment, with three handle sizes and multiple grip and color options.

The theory of a smooth faced blade causing less disturbance to the flow of water over the front face of the blade seemed to us to be in direct contradiction to basic hydrodynamic theory. Potential gains in hydrodynamic lift could be achieved if the back, not the front face of the blade, is free of impediments to the smooth movement of water in the direction of flow. It is not the front, but the back of the blade with its longer curved surface that accelerates the water flow and should provide a lifting force as the blade traverses out to the 90 degree stall position and back again during each stroke. By making the back surface "smooth" with the spine, or shaft attaching ridge parallel to the water flow, the blade would be more efficient and easier to handle.

The Hatchet blade is designed for powerful rowers who want no slip at the entry. This style is used by many competitive rowers. The larger sized blade uses a shorter shaft and has a very stiff feel for optimal power transfer.

The Macon blade is the traditional spoon “tulip” profile. The originals were hand carved from wood. The Alden Macon updates this design with a race-proven shape offering excellent balance and a solid feel through the stroke.

The Deltor blade design is our most popular and is particularly well suited for open water conditions. This small blade produces as much thrust as traditional larger blades. The pointed blade tip aids in feathering, making this oar very easy to use, even in windy and rough conditions.

All shafts are autoclave-cured at high temperature and pressure for maximum strength and durability. All the major components are made from prepreg carbon or, in the case of the blades, sandwich core construction of prepreg carbon and specially formulated syntactic foam to produce the highest quality parts with the desired strength, weight, weight distribution, durability and surface finish.

The high modulus sculls that we introduced starting in 2001 were the RX, APEX-X, BBX and the REX. This scull model type was offered to provide a scull that was light but had a balance point to fit the skill level and preference of each customer. The high modulus sculls are overall the lightest weight sculls offered on the market today and provide the best overall "swing weight" characteristics. On the recovery, lower "swing weight" results in far less energy usage and is especially helpful in reducing fatigue as the stroke rating goes up.
High Modulus Adjustable Length Sculls that come in adjustable length, your choice of 3 handle sizes, 3 grip types, the four blade types with the choice of three weights to tune the oar balance, with 3 levels of shaft stiffness and choice of average length/inboard with adjustment of +/- 5cm.

Fixed Length Sculls: The Dreher Fixed Length Sculls are an option for the quality and cost conscious rowing consumer. These sculling oars are produced with no options. Their specifications have the greatest appeal to the greatest segment of the sculling population. Many scullers have little idea as to what grip to get or what handle size, rig or stiffness is required. We have designed a high quality Dreher carbon sculling oar with no frills. We offer a shorter black nylon sleeve with green and red buttons instead of the longer adjustable length sleeves. In addition, only the popular BB2198 asymmetrical hatchet blade shape is offered direct from the factory. The shaft is less stiff and has a circular design. The oar length is 289 cm with an 88 cm inboard at mid-sleeve. This oar should appeal to all scullers except for the top scullers, who generally like the ability to customize their sculls. These oars are especially suited to those individuals who are not interested in multiple choices and who most closely fit the norm.

Empacher Ultralight, 100% Carbon-Fibre.

CST has produced shaft tubing for manufacturing of oars, for surf boats as well as rowing sculls.
Our shafts are filament wound using a high temperature epoxy resin combined with aerospace grade carbon fiber to create a tough, stiff and light section.
Filament winding is a fully automated and computer controlled process in which resin impregnated fibers are wrapped in a geometric pattern over a rotating male mandrel. This process produces considerable advantages over conventional hand-laid and fabric wrapped pre-preg techniques.
Resulting tubes have precise fiber orientations, high fiber-to-resin ratios, straight uncrimped fiber paths and excellent consistency.
All tubes are post cured under high temperature and pressure, to ensure the highest quality laminate.
This means every CST shaft will respond, feel and weigh the same, ensuring excellent performance time after time.
