However various features of sprint models have been retained which makes them much faster than traditional recreational boats. In fact, many Masters age competitors use these boats for national and international sprint and marathon competitions.
Features ... comfortable adjustable seats; sturdy adjustable footrests; understern or overstern rudder controlled by tiller bar on footrest
Construction ... available in fibreglass, carbon kevlar and carbon kevlar honeycomb to accommodate any priority, be it cost, stiffness or weight
