CONSTRUCTION OPTIONS
Xplora Watercraft are available in a choice of three layup schedules:
-
Club/Surf - boats in this layup are a combination of basalt innegra and fiberglass reinforcement with lantor Coremat® used to increase stiffness . These boats give priority to strength and durability at a competitive price point. They are the perfect choice for people 'hard on their gear' or those looking for a budget friendly option to maximise value for club/school grants. These boats are slightly heavier than the other layup schedules, but can take some rough and tumble and are straightforward to repair if you do manage to break it. Denoted 'Club' for flatwater race boats and 'Surf' for saltwater craft.
-
Ultra VIRT - boats in ultra VIRT layup are are built using Vacuum Infused Resin Transfer, and are a 50/50 hybrid construction of fiberglass and carbon/kevlar cloth. A Soric ® SF core is used to increase stiffness . These boats have good impact resistance for a lighter craft weight and are the perfect choice for people using their boats in bumpy water and want a good balance of weight and strength. This is our most popular layup and suited to the majority of users.
-
Elite VIRT - our elite boats are also built using Vacuum Infused Resin Transfer. This process is used to provide optimum wet-out of fibres and very consistent boat weights. This layup utilises carbon fibre and carbon kevlar cloths combined with the use of premium core materials, resulting in the lightest, stiffest layup we offer. These boats give priority to weight over all else and are a good option for those as loading on a high vehicle or competing in racing events, but will require more care and are not recommended for use in big conditions. Craft in this layup are also avaialvable as our prermium Hex Carbon finish outlined above.
