INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS
Components are the ideal solution for those that have the desire and passion to build their own skiff. Purchasing components will save time and money. You get the performance and longevity benefits of high tech carbon pre preg construction without the huge setup costs involved in starting from scratch. The following prices are for components made from the most premium materials. Packages can be created to suit individual needs and budgets. Contact us with your requirements.
Carbon/Nomex Pre preg Hull
The hull is laminated from the “WOOF” design male mould and is supplied as a bare carbon shell. SP Systems, SE 84 Pre preg. Uni-directional carbon skins are laminated either side of 10mm Nomex core. The laminate is vacuum bagged and cooked at over 85 degrees Celsius.
Epoxy hi-build undercoat is additional $600
Carbon/Nomex Pre preg Foredeck
SP Systems 84 uni-directional carbon pre preg/nomex composite laminated over a male deck mould and cured at +85 degrees Celsius.
Carbon Frames/Panels
Vacuum laminated and oven cured carbon/epoxy foam sandwich panels for frames.
Supplied (minimum order of 2.7sqm)
Panels have a peel ply finish for secondary bonding applications.
Fitted
Frames are fitted and bonded into hull ready for bonding cockpit floor. All frames fitted to Van Munster Pre preg skiff have a moulded carbon T-flange. The carbon T-flange ensures that components are precisely fitted resulting in excellent bond strength for minimal weight.
Bulkheads
The front watertight bulkhead and main bulkheads are also constructed from pre preg uni-directional carbon skins either side of an 8mm nomex core. The carbon pre preg/nomex bulkheads enhance stiffness under high rig loading.
Self draining cockpit floor
The self draining cockpit floor is constructed from a Pre preg uni-directional Carbon laminate with 10mm Nomex core. The component is laminated in a female mould.
Additional Pre preg Kevlar reinforcing
Pre preg Kevlar reinforcing can be laminated to the outside skin of the self draining cockpit to improve impact resistance.
Moulded Gunwales/Crew Outriggers
Gunwales and crew outriggers are laminated over a male box selection mould. The carbon fibre is laminated with Ampregg 22 epoxy resin and vacuum bagged and post cured for maximum strength. The section allows the gunwales to be formed into the crew outriggers.
Foils
Carbon epoxy rudder (including tiller)
Carbon epoxy centreboard
