• extremely clean and instant catch enabling immediate application of maximum power as soon as the blade enters the water

• increased stability during the drive phase by eliminating vibrations throughout the entire length of the stroke

• extra smooth and stable finish at the end of the stroke by removing jolt and shake occurrences at the exit

• low air drag during recovery

The pitch of the Fusion Blade can be adopted to suit your needs between 0° and +7°. It can be specified at the time of the order. Please contact your dealer for details.

Sharp Blade

BRAČA-SPORT® Sharp Blade product line is the original world's first elliptical 3-dimensional innovative blade shape and was designed using advance kinetic, bio-mechanical and material science concepts. The key concepts of revolutionary blade design are in the 3-dimensional curved shape and thickness of the blade and in the position and geometry of the spline. The edge of the spline is running parallel under the level of the blade edges. The thickness of the Sharp Blade is at the minimum level permitted by current FISA rules. The result is an extremely well balanced, double spooned blade with excellent aero and hydro dynamics.

The main performance characteristics of Sharp Blade are:

• extremely high rowing efficiency throughout the entire stroke
• smooth (water) catch and recovery
• ideal stability during the stroke
• low air drag

The pitch of the Sharp Blade can be adopted to suit your needs between 0° and +7°. It can be specified at the time of the order. Please contact your dealer for details.
