Shaft BRAČA-SPORT®
Costruzione dei fusti
Our goal is to design, develop and configure the best performing sweep and sculling oars for every rower and crew. We are proud to bring the major shaft innovations to the rowing community, such as the world’s first controlled force and energy shaft (mechanical energy eShaft) and UV-protective shaft. All shafts build using our proprietary UV-protective epoxy gelcoat, preserving all high performance parameters and characteristics for a long period of time. BRAČA-SPORT® technology guarantees the weight for specific set of sculls and sweep oars, with a variance of no more than ± 5 g (0.005 kg, 0.011 lb, 0.1764 oz).
ULTRA LIGHT NANO (SKINNY)
Ultra Light Nano, our small diameter shaft, features an exclusive design and all the high performance characteristics of the Ultra Light shaft. The Nano shafts are hand made with the highest grade of high modulus carbon. We use our lightest prepreg carbon fabrics - Unipreg®, specifically manufactured for rowing oars. The Ultra Light Nano is the only small diameter shaft with a wide stiffness range. They are designed for highly competitive and elite rowers of all sizes.
ULTRALight
Ultra Light (Yellow band) is a highly advanced and sophisticated ultra light shaft design and represents the highest level of technology offered in composites. These shafts have supreme high-performance characteristics, achieved via development of proprietary multi-layer and multi-characteristic hand lay-up methods of our own 100% pure high modulus prepreg carbon fabrics - Unipreg®, specifically manufactured for rowing oars. They are designed for highly competitive and elite rowers.
Standard
Standard (Red band) is our standard lightweight shaft. It is developed using advanced and proprietary multi-layer and multi-characteristic filament winding machine lay-up methods of high modulus carbon (60 % Carbon) and other high performance composite materials. These shafts are designed for all levels of racing and rowing, and have an excellent balance of high performance, maximum strength and durability.
Recreational
Recreational (Green band) is a unique design with reduced carbon content (20% Carbon), which continues to provide excellent performance characteristics. It is developed using advanced and proprietary multi-layer and multi-characteristic filament winding machine layup methods. The shaft is softer and developed to absorb the impact from each stroke, reducing the risk of common rowing injuries. These shafts are a good choice for scholastic and club programs where durability and highest impact resistance are key factors.
