Frame
construction
KLEPPER frames are available in three types of materials:
Wood - Aluminum - Carbon
Wood frame
Ash and birch are the only two types of wood we use. Ash is used
for all long parts of the frame like the cockpit coaming, the rods
or the gunwale because of its flexibility and strength. Layers of
birch are bonded together in a
procedure called multiplex. All parts inside the frame (ribs, bow
and stern pieces, boomerang) and
the smaller wooden plates on the gunwale and on the keelboard are
made of several layers of
wood, glued together. All wooden parts are dip-coated in marine varnish
three times, with
a 24 hour drying time in between each coat.
Carbon frame
Carbon frames are only available with the Aerius I 490. The carbon
frame is made of epoxy resin, carbon fiber fabric, fiberglass netting
and
aramid fiber. These components are very light and are also used in
aircraft construction and racing.
This provides for light and solid frames.
Aluminum frame
The Sprint Alu is the only KLEPPER single kayak with an aluminum
frame. The weight of the
boat is only 20 kg but do not underrate the payload of 150 kg.
There are no double
seater KLEPPER with an aluminum frame - there are no plans to produce
this type of kayak.
