Eights/Octuples

Design

Stämpfli have been producing this eight since 1995 and in this time crews have competed to the highest level.

Our Stämpfli S8 is based on the famous and very successful Karlisch shape. The Karlisch Company produced a number of extremely popular and successful racing shells. The Stämpfli S8 is designed around one of their shells and has proven to be very successful and popular with all standards of oarsmen and women due to its comfort, ease to sit and speed.

The boat is light yet still retains excellent stiffness.

We are able to supply the S8 in crew weights ranging from 60kg to in excess of 95kg.

Construction

Stämpfli boats are manufactured by using Nomex honeycomb sandwiched between high quality prepregnated carbon (90%) and glass fibre (10%), then heated under vacuum pressure and cured at 130°C. The resulting bond is 6–8 times stronger than the "wet lay-up" used by other manufacturers.

This substantially increased strength of bond, together with the use of carbon fibre, makes the hull stiffer, more durable and far less susceptible to damage.

Technical Specifications

All hull sizes are built to or below FISA Minimum Weight, and all hulls conform to FISA Buoyancy Guidelines.
