The Olympia class of racing shells are made of several layers of Kevlar and carbon with a nomex honeycomb sandwiched between with unidirectional carbon reinforcements at the gunnel, side and keel of the boat. The boat deflection is in the 4-4.5 mm range using the standard 20 kg flex test (i.e., the boat is supported 1.318 m from the bow and the stern).
This compares with a test done on K12 Empacher 1x, built in Feb. of 2000, with a 7 mm defection using the same test apparatus and protocol. The rigger supports are constructed from carbon, while the deck has several layers of Kevlar and a layer of glass inside of the Nomex honeycomb core.
The Olympia boats all have the either of two types of carbon fins made by Dreher as well as a spare Al fin for training.
The Olympia boats also have a thin layer of glass near the surface to facilitate any repairs that may be needed and improve the quality of the surface finish. All Olympia boats are outfitted with Dreher three way adjustable footstretchers with rowing shoes to your specified size, carbon single action seats and side mounted carbon riggers.
Durham Boat Company, Inc. manufactures all Dreher carbon rigging components and can ship out replacement parts quickly to anyone that needs a replacement and stock all other non-carobn hardware for quick repairs.
We no longer sell the Olympia model single in North American because the Olympia single has been replaced by either the Olympia X or Champion X. We still, however, sell crew boats in the Olympia construction. They remain to be a popular choice.
