I might be getting an Empacher racing single sometime soon (these are very nice boats, as anyone who rows will tell you). But I need a name. Suggestions?
This is a picture of one, though it's slightly different than the one I'm looking into.
Specifications of Boat:Length 8,00 m, breadth 0,28 m, weight of rowers 75 - 85 kg R18
Outer and inner skin kevlar/carbonfiber. Core material Nomex. Decks Kevlar with Nomex weave as core material. Top quality epoxy resin as used in the aircraft industry.The construction is vacuum formed in order that the gluing resulting in a seamless more durable boat. The use of the new materials and technology means that we can achieve the light weight construction. Following innovations have been made: Extra reinforcement of the gunwale with additional full size carbon layer and employment of full carbon foam frames.
I also just got back from a 6K regatta (more like 10K when factoring in waiting areas and distance to starting line).
