Our moulds are \u201c2 part\u201d moulds, with 1 mould for the hull and 1 mould for the entire internal structure, from bow to stern.\nThis system requires a higher level of investment and skill than building \u201csingle skin\u201d boats, where multiple layers of fibreglass are simply laminated one on top of the other, in a single hit.<\/p>\n\n

The 2 part system allows us to build in all of the features that paddlers should expect, such as non-slip floor surfaces, a flat and safe platform for the steer, fully enclosed buoyancy tanks, posts to support seats and provide extra buoyancy, hand holds etc.\nHaving the internal and external mouldings, which are then bonded together over almost their entire surface also provides the maximum possible stiffness, as well as an internal surface of gel coat for the ultimate protection from the weather and ease of cleaning.\n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Club<\/strong> uses multiple layers of fibreglass cloth and mat, but in a 2 part system as explained above.
\nPremium<\/strong> uses Lantor Coremat to replace some of the fibreglass layers, adding to overall stiffness.\n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
