Sailors using CST’s spars have dominated the results board at the Geelong International Skiff Regatta with wins in the 12’, 14’, 16’ and 18’ skiff classes.  This clean sweep affirms CST as the leading supplier of skiff masts both in Australia and world-wide.  Ten years of scientific development and manufacturing know-how have ensured that CST still remain as the best choice for skiff and dinghy masts.
