Description Our Kantun S IOM class sailboats are offered with the following items & specifications included: Kantun S hull is completely built by Sailboat RC with all of our expertise from our highly specialised RC sailing production facilities in Split, Croatia (EU) (there are no other companies that manufacture Kantun S except us!), Our IOM hulls are made from plain and twill weave ultra-light woven fiberglass and premium quality materials, we focus on supreme performance and state-of-the-art craftsmanship that lasts for many years, Craig Smith created the fin and our rudder is made by Robert Grubiša (new Sailboat RC design, triaxial fibreglass carbon weave used), The bulb is made in a metal mould and with carbon or fibreglass outer shell reinforcement options which you can select by your choice (extra customization), The sailboat will have installed our Sailboat RC optimized RMG winch (with self-tensioning spiral drum) and high-quality rudder Futaba servo size, Sailboat RC also manages servo/tiller connector, A set of black deck patches is the default option, Comprehensive instructions and guidelines (PDF) on how to tune the boat, The fin/bulb and rudder are mounted using purposely made jigs for correct alignment with the hull, Our IOM RC sailboats are tested for leakage and quality checked (QC) before delivery so we try to eliminate any possible worries before shipping, The curing temperature of the moulded part is 35-40 deg Celsius. The outer hull shell (surface) is made by applying a pigmented UP-based gelcoat that ensures an excellent connection between the gelcoat layer and the epoxy laminate, but it also protects our Kantun S hull from environmental influences and harmful UV radiation. Pigmented UP and epoxy gel coat are used rather than paint. The main advantages are: – The outer shell surface is hard & resistant and the hydrodynamic smooth surface is easier to maintain during the boat’s lifetime, – Gel coat contributes to the overall ability of the hull shell to retain the original shape – better than a layer of primer and/or paint which are just adding weight unnecessarily, – Scratches over time are less visible with our advanced “no-paint” IOM hull technology, – Repairs are straightforward – pigmented epoxy resin filler in cracks will solve the problems efficiently (we send a small paint sample with each hull for free!), – Easy restoration of original surface finish by means of wet sanding and polishing, – Easy removal of Dacron self-adhesive patches without accidental peeling of deck surface paint.
