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 6.4, and the published score moves a third of the way toward that. What that means.
Suits: Flatwater fitness, learning ocean paddling and first downwind runs for paddlers ~60-95kg
Paddler weight
This hull is built around a paddler of about 85 kg. It stays workable from 75 kg to 91 kg, and sits at its best between 79 kg and 87 kg.
Derived from published hull dimensions and calibrated against manufacturer paddler limits, not taken from a marketing range. The method, in full.
Generations
Newest entry/intermediate model in the Fennix range; slots between the Fennix Blue-Fin and XT S, ~140mm longer waterline than both for glide, lower gunnels for easier remount
