Racing shell Raven

double scull

The RAVEN doubles and pairs were designed and built specifically for high level and elite racing, taking advantage of quality composite materials as applied with the newest Resin Infusion techniques. The resulting shells have a superior structural integrity and strength not only in the 100% carbon hulls and decks, but also in each of the high level Kaschper-crafted components. We use only the best materials in creating the RAVEN. The hull is built with several layers of high modulous 100% carbon fiber material. Infusion with epoxy resins under vacuum completes the layup, followed by a double curing in our high temp oven. By using infusion, we have completely ELIMINATED the inefficient and fragile prepreg/ honeycomb process, so products are stronger and lighter in weight. The RAVEN not only performs well, but also lasts a long time! To increase structural integrity and longevity, we continue to use the Kaschper Unideck system. By molding the entire cockpit and decks as single units without joints, the STIFFNESS of the shell is increased a great deal, which augments overall strength and extendis longevity. To further enhance the beauty of the Raven, we leave the decks in their natural carbon form, covering them only with a durable layer of UV Protective PPG Clear Coat finish, polished to a glass-like, highly water-responsive surface.
