Singles

Design

Stämpfli has been producing racing shells since 1896 and during this time we have developed two of the most refined racing singles on the market. Utilising the highest quality pre-preg materials we have produced a light stiff boat that has been sculled to Olympic Gold medals by the likes of Pertti Karpinnen and Sam Lynch.

The Stämpfli X1 (Finnish Mould) was first constructed in 1986, based on drawings from the Finnish Ship Technical Institute in Helsinki. This boat was originally built for the famous 3 times Olympic Champion Pertti Karpinnen. Immediately it was accepted by scullers worldwide, and considered by many to be the fastest shape for a single scull.

The Stämpfli S1 (Stämpfli Classic Mould) is the hull design used in the classic cedar Stämpfli. The shape is based on years of development and design and when the hull shape was analysed by computer it was not possible to find any area that needed improvement.

The Stämpfli ST1 Lightweight (Autoclave) is the FISA Short Mould hull modified above the waterline to suit this type of construction . Full details of the ST1 Lightweight can be found on its special microsite by clicking here.

Construction

Stämpfli boats (except the ST1 Lightweight) 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.
