Cadet Construction
CA Construction
We use top and bottom moulds to minimise the labor required, which reduces costs and the resultant join of the 2 parts runs around the whole edge of the boats, giving them an advantage in toughness over “normal” shells when bumping into things.All are built under vacuum, and with enclosed seat decks for maximum buoyancy (exceed FISA's requirement).
Choice of 2 grades
Available in Club A grade, with Kevlar skins on Lantor coremat for a strong and lightweight sandwich, this are ideal for racing, the Club B grade comes at a lower price, but is still a sandwich construction with Lantor coremat, but with fiberglass skins for rugged durability and easy repair.
For both grades, the decks, seat deck and saxboards use closed cell PVC foam as the core material. Due to the small sizes of the hulls and the use of sandwich construction the overall boat weights are kept manageable.
:: Club A
Overview
Due to small hull size, only a little over FISA minimum, so can still be highly
competitive.
Hull
Coremat core with kevlar skins.
Saxboards
Closed cell PVC foam core with kevlar skins, and carbon reinforcing.
Canvas Decks
Coremat core with kevlar skins.
Seat deck
Closed cell PVC foam core with kevlar skins.
:: Club B
Overview
Built for training, but due to small hull size, not as heavy as normal Club B Racing Shells. Relatively easy to repair.
Hull
Coremat core with fibreglass skins.
Saxboards
Closed cell PVC foam core with fibreglass skins, and carbon reinforcing.
Canvas Decks
Coremat core with fibreglass skins.
Seat deck
Closed cell PVC foam core with fibreglass skins.
