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.
