Aeronaut Plotter Cutter
CST is constantly upgrading our capabilities. We’ve recently acquired an Aeronaut Plotter Cutter which has automated the cutting-out of prepreg and dry fabrics. This machine ensures consistency of the final product with ease of repeatability, and because it saves time, our customers save money. We now have the ability to pre-package kits before production.
Our plotter cutter has a table size of 7 metres x 1.5 metres, giving us a wide scope for automated cutting.
Forestay attachement, spreader attachment and mainsheet hanger
Here at CST we’ve recently redesigned our moth fittings. They are now not only aesthetically more attractive, but they’ve been designed for weight reduction, strength, and flexibility of application. All you need to attach our forestay attachment, spreader attachment and mainsheet hangers, is glue.
These fittings are now available at CST Express, our online store.
Antonio Lambertini 2012 Contender World Championships
CST has recently had multiple successes in the contender class. In April, the contender world titles were held at the St Petersburg Yacht Club in Florida USA. Antonio Lambertini secured first place, while Giovanni Bonzio grabbed second. Both boats were fitted with CST masts. Congratulations guys!
The European Championships were held in July/August at Gottskar, Sweden, where Andrea Bonezzi, from Italy, took first place. We are proud to say he was using a CST Mast. Congratulations Andrea.
CST is happy to congratulate moth sailor, Tatsuya Wakinaga, for his fantastic win in the 2012 Japanese International Moth Class Championship held at Lake Hamana, south of Mount Fuji. Tatsuya was using CST moth and boom. We’re excited to be involved in another sailing win and the second in a row in Japan.
New Shaw 650 rectangular boom section
CST is constantly redesigning our marine products to ensure we continue to provide sailors with the latest, strongest and lightest carbon fibre products. We have engineered and produced a rectangular boom section for the Shaw 650. The new section is stiffer, lighter and stronger with a length of 3.5 metres and weight of 5kg fully rigged. The new boom will be in action in Sydney soon with the first boat to receive it ready to go sailing.
If you want one of the new boom sections check out CST Express, our convenient online store for all your marine needs.

Stay tuned because we’ve also designed a new Shaw 650 mast which will be available before Christmas.
We’ve recently supplied a carbon fibre package for a new cherub, New Order. With mast, boom, and tiller extension, Andrew’s cherub is ready to go, and it looks good.

It’s been a great year for Australian sailors. Not only have we scooped a boat-load of gold medals at the 2012 Olympics, we’ve managed to secure the top three places at the 2012 Zhik Nautica Moth Worlds at Lake Garda. The results came down to the final race of the last day, where Joshua won from Scott Babbage and Rob Gough. All of the top three moths were using a CST Boom. Congratulations guys! CST Composites is excited to be associated with these amazing sailors.
