Layup weights
On-water profile
Both scores are rated at the hull's own design weight. How these are derived.
Speed here also has a traced hull behind it: measured off this boat's own side and plan photographs, the shape alone rates it 8.3, and the published score moves a third of the way toward that. What that means.
Suits: Ocean swell, downwind and flatwater for lighter advanced paddlers under ~85kg
Paddler weight
This hull is built around a paddler of about 88 kg. It stays workable from 78 kg to 94 kg, and sits at its best between 82 kg and 90 kg.
Derived from published hull dimensions and calibrated against manufacturer paddler limits, not taken from a marketing range. The method, in full.
