All of our racing shells are available in three different specifications, Bronze, Silver and Gold, to ensure you can choose the right combination of performance and price for you.
Bronze Version:
Our Bronze version is build for durability and is intended to be used in training and racing. The hull is constructed as a double layerd sandwich construction with a foam core mat and layered glass fibre and a mix of carbon fibre and kevlar.
This sandwich construction makes the hull more durable and enduring in everyday club use.
Silver version
The Silver version is build for lightness and quality, the intended use is for athletes and crews who are competing at national elite level.
The honey comb pyrolytic carbon sandwich construction is made up of prepreg carbon, kevlar and a foam honeycomb layer. This mix gives the boat a very reliable stiffness and a great transmission of the produced power into the water whilst remaining relatively enduring for everyday use..
Gold Version
The gold version is our top level finish and designed to deliver highest possible speed and stiffness, whilst being extremely light and comfortable to row. The weight of a gold version boat is typically just under the FISA minimum weight, with a stiffness not bettered by other manufacturers. The boat is fitted with New Wave Rowing shoes as standard.
The Hull is build up with 5 layers made from pure carbon honeycomb sandwich construction, using only prepreg carbon, with the following layers used from the inside to the outside:
Inside: Unidirectional prepreg carbon
Followed by Nomex honeycomb core
Followed by prepreg woven carbon
Followed by two layers of crossed unidirectional prepreg carbon
Followed by undercoat and paint as ordered by you
All boats are finished to the high standard you can expect from high performing boats.
