Dimensions:

Length 12,02 m, breadth 0,44 m, weight of rowers up to 75 kg R44
Length 12,89 m, breadth 0,46 m, weight of rowers 70 - 85 kg R45
Weight of boat: c. 51 kg

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. Footstretcher fully adjustable with Adidas shoes. Fin-rudder.
