CONSTRUCTION OPTIONS
Xplora Watercraft are available in a choice of three layup schedules:
-
Club/Surf - boats in this layup are hand laid vinylester fiberglass laminates with a combination of basalt innegra and kevlar cloth reinforcement in key stress areas. A lantor Coremat® is used to increase stiffness . These boats are hard wearing and are the perfect choice for people 'hard on their gear' or those looking for a budget friendly option. 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. Infusion grade Bader Crystic vinylester is used under vacuum to wet out the laminate of carbon and kevlar on a Soric ® LRC core, which results in the lightest, stiffest layup we offer. These boats are perfect where weight is a critical concern such 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.
