Interboat Speed Calculator

Interboat Speed Calculator

It’s not easy to compare speed and skill between boats so we have developed this tool that will help you.
With this tool you will be able to understand how the boat’s speed is affected depending on the type of boat or on how many resistors you are paddling with, given that you are applying the same power.
It can also be used to equalize skill between paddlers. You can determine what handicap you need on your boat so that your less skilled training partner can keep up with you and you won’t need to soften your training session.

How to use it?
Select the reference boat, meaning the boat you regularly use, and the usual cruise speed.

Select the goal boat, that’s the boat we will apply the same power to

Disclaimer
All calculations are based on data obtained with an 80Kg paddler, in no-wind, no-current conditions. There might be small variations to your own setup.

Constructions

P Polyethene Built-in polyethene material, with 50% recycled plastic

A1 Fiberglass Polyester This is the basic construction that is thought to be an economic option for touring and learning boats.

F Carbon Foam Epoxy Vacuum Heat Cured One of the most popular constructions, it’s defined by being extremely resistant and rigid, ideal for sprint training and competition.

WWR Carbon/Kevlar Epoxy Vacuum This construction is designed for river descents, marathon training, and sea competition. His main features are: stiffness and impact resistance.

G Extra Carbon Foam Epoxy Vacuum Heat Cure High-quality construction, prepared for high performance.

E Carbon/Kevlar Vacuum Heat Cured Was specifically developed for marathon events, it stands out for the balance between its lightness and stiffness. These features gives it an excellent performance in competition.

SCS Solid Composite System Construction with an excellent performance level because of it’s extreme stiffness. Those features are possible because of the high-technology that we use in the moulding of composites. Ideal for high-competition. This construction also stands out for the extras, such as, weights and cover for the boat, and also the possibility of customizing the painting (not included in the price of the boat).

FC Full Carbon The Full Carbon (FC) is a carbon look layup, that mixes different layup techniques and materials, resulting in an outstanding carbon look.
FC is an extremely stiff boat that can support all the power and effort applied into it, while keeping a solid feeling at all time.

AIR Ultralight Weight Was specifically developed for surfski boats, standing out for being extremely lightweight.
It’s especially suited for high performance in all conditions.
