Galasport BARBUSA
BARBUSA is a boat for children, that aims to prepare young champions. It is the smallest boat that meets the ICF size standards and allows to practice correct movements and principles in slalom. Its shape corresponds to child‘s body anatomy and thus brings high quality experience from paddling to the young cadets and juniors. The emphasis was put on easy control over the boat and its stability, which would not be appreciated just by the paddlers, but by their parents and coaches as well. In the Carbolite version it is intended for the most demanding youngsters. Suitable for kids from 9 to 13 years old up to 50 kg.
Material version CARBOLIGHT
Model Barbusa is produced also in these material versions PROFI / FLEXIBLE / MIXT
CARBOLIGHT CONSTRUCTION
Our top quality boat construction for the most demanding slalom racers who seek the finest quality, stiffness and design.
The boat is made using vacuum technology, where the epoxy resin hardens at high temperature.
Material composition:
- quality epoxy resin system
- about 80% carbon fabric and about 20% carbon-aramid fabric in places where more extra durability is required.
- a unique combination of 3 types of foam plates in the Pyramid shape.
- single aramid seams on the front inside and double seams on the back inside.
- seamless on the outside (except for the bow and stern tips for extra protection where there is a thin black aramid tape) for the best possible aerodynamics.
- special lightweight carbon/aramid internal reinforcements connecting the deck and the hull
Weights: K1 8.0 - 9.0 kg, C1 8.5 - 9.0 kg, C2 13 kg.
The weight of the boat depends on the volume of the boat (i.e.a boat for an 80 kg competitor is heavier than a boat for a 50 kg competitor).
The weight of the boat also depends on the colour design. The lightest is a boat with a clear carbon look.
Note: We deliver boats weighing less than 9 kg as it is required by ICF rules. When you finish assembly of all accessories (seats, footrests, kneeling box etc.), add some weight to meet the 9 kgs limit for the competition.
