Galasport Anik

Boat for those who have grown out of DINO minikayak, but still haven’t reached the size of junior racers. ANIK was designed by Canadian coach, former olympian, Michael Holroyd. Mike succeeded in changing the rules in Canada for the youngsters under 14 years of age, so that they can paddle kayaks appropriate for their size, not having to follow strict ICF requirement using same-sized boats for all athletes accross the age spectrum. Therefore CAIPI platform was used and slightly shrunk, creating ANIK at 316 cm in length and 57 cm in width. Not too many people know the name ANIK came from first two letters of Mike’s kids. Cockpit is about 4cm smaller compared to "senior“ boat, which makes regular sprayskirt fitting just fine and securely, when putting it on is slightly easier. Kayak perfectly suits kids ranging from 25 to 45 kg. Thanks to this design, younger lighter kids can learn faster and implement the moves and tricks that otherwise, due to their lighter and shorter bodies, they would be just dreaming about in a bigger boat. Maybe ANIK will help to raise new world champions.

The boat is made by vacuum technology, where the epoxy resin hardens at high temperature. Material composition: quality epoxy system approximately 80% carbon fabric and approximately 20% carbon-aramid fabric in areas where more frequent contact with obstacles is expected a unique combination of 3 types of foam sandwich in the shape of a Pyramid internal aramid joints of deck and bottom outer seam without the outer tape for the best possible hydrodynamics. The black aramid tape is only on the tip and stern of the boat. The bottom is connected to the deck with special lightweight carbon/aramid internal stiffeners. Weight of Boats: K1 boats : 8,0-9,0 kg C1 boats : 8,5-9,0 kg C2 boats : 13 kg The weight of the boat depends on the volume of the boat. E.g. A boat for an 80 kg athlete is a bit more heavy than a boat for a 50 kg athlete. The weight of the boat also depends on the color design. The lightest are boats with a colorless carbon look. *Note: boats are delivered underweighted up to 9 kg. Boats have to be weighed in after finishing of seating (seats, footrests, etc.) have been installed. PROFI The Profi gives a robust high performance racing construction. Profi is mostly used by experienced and advanced competitors, who train and race on stony and shallow courses. Due to the use of carbon/aramid material in the construction, the boat is tougher compared to the Carbolight construction. The bottom and the deck are more resistant to the penetration of sharp stones into the sandwiches. Material composition: quality epoxy system the bottom has 70 % of carbon/aramid fabric and 30 % of glass fabric, vacuum technologie deck has 70 % of carbon/aramid fabric and 30 % of glass fabric, vacuum technologie 2 types of foam sandwich internal aramid joints of deck and bottom the bottom is connected to the deck inside with stiffeners from hard foam (Styrodur).

Boats have to be weighed in after finishing of seating (seats, footrests, etc.) have been installed. FLEXIBLE Great and economical boat construction, suitable for beginners or advance competitors and kayakers, who train and race on average slalom courses. The deck is made by vacuum technology, the bottom is made without vacuum technologie. The epoxy resin hardens at high temperature. Material Composition quality epoxy system the bottom has 70 % of carbon/aramid fabric and 30 % of glass fabric, without vacuum technologie deck has 70 % of carbon/aramid fabric and 30 % of glass fabric, vacuum technologie internal aramid joints of deck and bottom the bottom is connected to the deck inside with stiffeners from hard foam (Styrodur) the bottom is more resistant to impact from stones compared to Carbolight or Profi construction Weight of Boats: K1 boats : 9,0-10,0 kg C1 boats : 9,2-10,5 kg C2 boats : 14,0-15,0 kg The weight of the boat depends on the volume of the boat. E.g. A boat for an 80 kg athlete is a bit more heavy than a boat for a 50 kg athlete. The weight of the boat also depends on the color design. The lightest are boats with a colorless carbon look. MIXT Economical boat construction, suitable for beginners or advanced kayakers, who train and race on easy slalom courses. Material Composition: quality epoxy system the bottom has 50 % of carbon/aramid fabric and 50 % of glass fabric, without vacuum technologie deck has 10 % of carbon/aramid fabric and 90 % of glass fabric, without vacuum technologie internal aramid joints of deck and bottom the bottom is connected to the deck inside with stiffeners from hard foam (Styrodur). Weight of Boat: K1 boats : 9,5-11,0 kg C1 boats : 9,8-11,5 kg The weight of the boat depends on the volume of the boat. E.g. A boat for an 80 kg athlete is a bit more heavy than a boat for a 50 kg athlete. The weight of the boat also depends on the color design. The lightest are boats with a colorless carbon look. DIOLEN The most economical boat construction, suitable for beginners, who train and race on easy slalom courses. Material Composition: epoxy resin glass fabric in the bottom there is a reinforcement of approx. 2m2 of carbon/aramid fabric internal aramid joints of deck and bottom the bottom is connected to the deck inside with stiffeners from hard foam (Styrodur).
