No.12

Carbon vac bag

Refreshed and upgraded for 2020. Our flagship construction now includes even more carbon. Probably the finest construction on the market today. Using a special two-stage epoxy process, layering carbon fibre with a quality rigid foam core. Seamed seams inside and out for strength and durability. Available from our Custom and X-Spec ranges. There is no rushing this construction, it is labour of love.

Bear in mind the low dent-resistance when choosing this construction. It’s a tough boat and is designed for race use, but care is needed on the portage and when racking or transporting. If you need more a boat that can handle a few knocks, check out the No.14.

Notes

All weights are approximate and weight vary depending on the model. Weights are quoted with standard fittings, single colour gelcoat (seats and footrests) but without optional extra fittings. If required we will be able to provide a more accurate estimation of your boat based on your choices.

Our target is to produce all sprint boats to the minimum racing weight (K1=12kg, k2=18kg) irrespective of the construction choice. However, with larger boats it may not be possible to achieve this with the entry-level construction.
