CST have now added elliptical tubes to our product range. This provides, sections for cat beams, yacht booms as well as mast sections for 30-35 footers. This addition offers greater variety and will further benefit our customers.
CST recently supplied NASA, in aid of their Hubble Telescope. Our tubing was used to construct a re-entry skid. Feedback from the NASA engineers, said they were “impressed with the quality of our tubing, and the tested tolerances proved to exceed their expectations”.

The I14 UK Nationals were won by Andy Fitzgerald with a Bieker 5. First in the POW Cup was taken by Andy Partington in a Morrison 12. Both used CST rigs.
With a fantastic start to the year, RMW Marine has won the JJ Giltinan 18fter World Championships. With 4 wins and 2 second places, RMW reigned supreme in the series. Excellent crew work and a fantastic boat and rig combination ensured that RMW took an early strangle hold upon the championship. Beating 9 previous JJ winners, including Howie Hamlin, took an enormous effort and Rob and Peter Greenhalgh along with Dan Johnson did so convincingly.
CSTComposites skippered by Chris Dixon had mixed luck with collision in the Invitational Race, which set them back in the JJ. However they recovered towards the end of the regatta for a 15th.
