Construction details:
Outer and inner skin kevlar/carbonfiber reinforced sandwich material
with nomex honeycombs. Frames reinforced with carbonfiber. Highest
quality epoxy resin, same as used in aerospace industry. Vacuum bag
technique is used to guarantee total bonding between outer layers
and sandwich core. The combination of aramidfiber (kevlar) and epoxy
resin results in a tear and impact resistance of the outer skin, that
cannot be matched with other materials for the same weight. Following
innovations have been made: Extra reinforcement of the gunwale with
additional full size carbon layer and employment of full carbon foam
frames.
Additional parts included:
Fitting stainless steel or
aluminium. Sliding seat wood with holes. Hard anodised aluminium tracks,
adjustable. Anodised profiled aluminium wing riggers with Insert gates.
