Boat Construction

Below is a description of the various levels of constructions Nelo manufactures. Please note that not all boats are available in all constructions. The available constructions for each boat is shown on the boat's product page.

 

PE	Polyethene	Built-in polyethene material, with 50% recycled plastic
A1	Fiberglass Polyester	This is the basic construction that is thought to be an economic option for touring and learning boats.
F	Carbon Foam Epoxy Vacuum Heat Cured	One of the most popular constructions, it’s defined by being extremely resistant and rigid, ideal for sprint training and competition.
WWR	Carbon/Kevlar Epoxy Vacuum	This construction is designed for river descents, marathon training, and sea competition. His main features are: stiffness and impact resistance.
G	Extra Carbon Foam Epoxy Vacuum Heat Cured	High-quality construction, prepared for high performance.
E	Carbon/Kevlar Vacuum Heat Cured	Was specifically developed for marathon events, it stands out for the balance between its lightness and stiffness. These features gives it an excellent performance in competition.
SCS	Solid Composite System	Construction with an excellent performance level because of it’s extreme stiffness. Those features are possible because of the high-technology that we use in the moulding of composites. Ideal for high-competition. This construction also stands out for the extras, such as, weights and cover for the boat, and also the possibility of customizing the painting (not included in the price of the boat).
FC	Full Carbon	Like SCS, FC is an extremely stiff boat that can support all the power and effort applied into it. This construction is only avaialble with clear gel coat to expose the carbon, no design available. Only available for V24 K1s (Sete, Cinco, Quattro)
AIR	Ultralight Weight (Surfski only)	Was specifically developed for surfski boats, standing out for being extremely lightweight. It’s especially suited for high performance in all conditions.
