Common features<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Seats<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Our bench seats are made from anti-slip pattern wooden finishing composite fibreglass, to protect against water damage. <\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n
\n\t

\"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Footrests<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

We provide pairs of footrests, so that all paddlers have a choice of which is most comfortable or effective for them.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n
\n\t

\"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Gunwale capping<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Our gunwale capping is made from wooden finishing composite fibreglass, to protect against water damage. It adds considerable stiffness to the sides of the boats. <\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"\"<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Steering arm<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Our steering arms are very substantial, being considerably bigger than the minimum allowed by the IDBF. This gives great stiffness, and an increased surface area for bonding to the boat. We choose not to use additional bolts to secure the steering arm to the stern deck, as in a collision with another boat or with the dock, it is better that the arm breaks free cleanly, rather than ripping the stern deck to pieces.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n
\n\t

\"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Drainage bungs<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The bow and stern buoyancy compartments both have small drainage bungs which allow them to be easily drained or aired.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n
\n\t

\"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Hand holds<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Our hand holds are bonded into the internal sides of our boats, one for every seat, plus 1 extra.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n
\n\t

\"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Non-slip floors<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

All floor surfaces, including for the steersman, have a non slip pattern, which is part of the layup of the boat, so will last for as long as the boat.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n
\n\t

\"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Heads and tails<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Our heads and tails are moulded fiberglass, that are then painted in bright colors by hand. The heads in particular are very popular with many customers, for the charm they bring to the boats.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"\"<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Drums<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Our drums are traditional Hong Kong style drums so have the traditional sound and feel that has motivated paddlers for millennia.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n
\n\t

\"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Drummer\u2019s seats<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Our drummer\u2019s seats are made from resin infused hardwood, to protect against water damage. They are designed to easily but securely slide into the rails that are built into the boats. And the drummer \u2018s seats can be adjusted to an exact position.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n
\n\t

\"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Features for 6 man<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n
\n\t

6 man DB has combined drum and steering footrest instead of the steering arm for 10 man and 20 man DB.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n
\n\t

\"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Features for ice DB and land DB<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n
\n\t

Ice DB and Land DB have the same special steering system, with the ice skate for Ice DB and the wheels for Land DB.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"\"<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n
\n\t

Drums<\/p>\n

The drum can be adjusted to an exact position.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
