An extremely light and rigid hull, though more delicate than a carbon-Kevlar hull. The interior is traditionally fitted out in wood. This is not just a visual difference; the boat is also quieter when rowing than a boat with a sandwich-deck interior. Repairs to the interior are also easier for the boat keeper to carry out.
You can choose the colour of the hull’s exterior; the interior is clear, so you can see the carbon fibre weave.
