On the Custom model we take great care to select and book-match the wood veneers on hull and decks, giving our racing machines the refined looks of classic furniture. Outer surfaces are meticulously sanded, sealed and varnished. The hull is Mahogany or Cedar with matching or contrasting decks.
Outer and inner skin kevlar/carbonfiber reinforced sandwich material with nomex honeycombs. Frames reinforced with carbonfiber. Highest quality epoxy resin, same as used in aerospace industry. Vacuum bag technique is used to guarantee total bonding between outer layers and sandwich core. The combination of aramidfiber (kevlar) and epoxy resin results in a tear and impact resistance of the outer skin, that cannot be matched with other materials for the same weight. Following innovations have been made: Extra reinforcement of the gunwale with additional full size carbon layer and employment of full carbon foam frames.
The Janousek JS double/pair is designed around the World famous boat builder Klaus Filter's first design of the FISA Short Mould. Over the years Janousek have added innovation to the design. The hull is shorter in length than other hull shapes and designed to be rowed smoothly, with minimal pitching at the catch and finish of the stroke. The hull shape is recognised as the fastest shape worldwide for crews ranging from 55kg-80kg, making it suitable for lightweight, women and junior athletes. This shape is available as a double, pair or double/pair convertible. The Janousek JS is available in 5 different hull sizes to accommodate crews with a 5kg average weight allowance.
C-boats are outstanding suitable for the general rudder enterprise and for Gig boat regatta. Very fast and easily and nevertheless also with rough water mobile, therefore one can make also walking trips with little luggage with them. Who wants walking driving with large luggage in the boat rudders, should after-look with the D/E boats.
The C-boat-variants S and R-S with sandwich slab interior fittings are particularly easy and very rigid. The variant R-S has a narrower, still faster hull form. The boat drives itself nearly like a speedboat. Not to recommend therefore also for the beginner training and Freizeitruderer. The R-S variant does not fulfill the C-boat conditions of the DRV!
