Fluidesign Quad
Durability
By using multi-directional layers of woven carbon fiber, our hulls are uncommonly durable. Since we do not use cores of any kind in the hull, impact with objects will not crush or damage the skin. This resiliency appeals to clubs where a range of athlete ability is a factor.
Oarlock Height
The total adjustable height of the oarlock is 8cm, with 6 cm of adjustment on the rigger and 2 cm with speedwashers. Please see picture below for more detail.
Steering Toe
An aircraft engineer designed the steering toe. The design looks and works like it came right out of an airplane. We also added a spacer under the non steering shoe, which means that the rower is pushing off both feet on the same plane-this is usually not the case with most steering shoes.
Rigger Mount
The sweep rigger is bolted to the gunnels.
Fin and Rudder
The rudder is mounted right behind the fin. The fin is more sternward than most boats, which results in straighter tracking. The rudder, although quite small, will steer the boat as aggressively as required. The fin is carbon fibre, which cannot be bent, and the rudder is stainless steel.
Elite Tint Colours
Our Elite shells feature our clear-coat finish, which can look even better with one of our vibrante tint colours applied.
