Layup weights
On-water profile
Modelled from this hull's traced beam and depth at its design weight. Medium confidence. Speed is our rating. Both are given at the hull's own design weight.
Stability here means how steady the ski feels sitting still on flat water. Where two craft have overlapping ranges, we can't say which is more stable. Downwind handling is a separate thing, covered in the evidence note below.
Evidence note
Speed is also checked against the traced hull. Measured from this boat's side and plan photos, the shape alone rates 9, and the score shown is moved a third of the way toward that. What that means.
Suits: Ocean racing and downwind for elite paddlers under ~85kg
Paddler weight
The estimated sweet spot is 73–85 kg, with a broader estimated guide of 59–85 kg. This estimate is a guide, not a limit. Seat fit, conditions and paddling style matter. Lighter paddlers can still enjoy a larger hull, especially downwind. A test paddle is the best check.
The upper limit is the maker’s; the lighter end follows the proportions of makers’ own ranges. How this is worked out.
