By using the latest technology and extensive testing, BRAČA-SPORT
has developed a line of oar and scull shafts without equal
in both quality and performance.
Our success has come from the unique combination of the materials
used, the lay-up techniques and the method of consolidation.
A thin band of High Modulus Carbon (HMC – 0.11mm) is laid
upon with varying quantities of High Modulus ‘impact resistant’
glass. This combination of materials is then introduced to
toughened epoxy resin and together they are laid and wound
onto a steel mandrel under very precise and exact controls.
Polymerisation takes place at 160°C under high pressure. The
result is a tube of excellent consolidation, high impact resistance
and stiffness, all in an a very light package.

The new GOLD BRAND family of products is a combination
of our best and most sophisticated oars. Ultra Light Gold
shafts are marked by a distinctive Gold band and represent the
highest level of know-how and quality BRAČA-SPORT offers for
rowers.
By using a special layering system with a 100% pure high modulus
carbon shaft and a special carbon blade structure, the Gold
brand products have the highest level of stiffness at the same
weight as the Ultra Light oars.
BRAČA-SPORT made a special and exclusive surface design for
its Gold Brand to underline the hi-tech nature of these products.

Ultra Light (Yellow
band) shafts are produced by using 100% pure high modulus
carbon. These shafts have maximum lightness and high stiffness.
Standard (Red band) shafts have a lower carbon
content. They are less stiff then the Ultra light and are 20%
heavier. This material combination has the highest possible
impact resistance.
Recreational (Green band) still retains excellent
‘stiffness’ and ‘feel’, even though the carbon content has been
reduced to 40%. They maintain high impact resistance and carry
only a 11% weight premium over the Standard type. Optional handle
sizes are available for both younger athletes and adults.

Each oar and scull has its own individual
serial number.
Our database contains the exact weight, length, center of gravity
and shaft stiffness of each product and the records can be cross
referenced by the serial number. Exact reproduction of any one
oar and scull is available at any time. |
