Question ( from David )
Hello,
I am interested in buying a single scull . My weight is 91.57kg. In terms of weight the F14 mould is the best option,but I train on a river and feel that a U shaped hull would better suit me. Im wondering would the F1 mould suit me better?
Thank you.

Answer ( from Webmaster )
With this problem you can use F39, but it is very big. Is not the first F39 that we produce for 90Kg, we change the position of the deck to permit a good roll stability.
In this case F1 if too little. If you have this sensation I think that you produce big pitch. F39 with it's big bow don't permit this effect. If you can try it.

Answer ( from Webmaster )
Ask to your dealer.
You can change color but there is a different price.
When you buy a single we put inside the speedcoach too.

Question ( from Ted Schatz )
I am purchasing an older Filippi. 1998 to be exact. Pristine condition. The weight rating on the boat says 73kg. Any idea what mold that may be? Also what the weight range would be?
Answer ( from Webmaster )
It can be F15. There is a plate where there is a number. If you want, you can send to us this number and I can check. You can use for 70-75kg, not more.

Answer ( from Webmaster )
F1 is a very good shape but for you I think that the best solution will be F14.

Question ( from Veli )
I am 105 kg. Which model is for me? F21 or F39? Which one will perform better at lower stroke rate - about 28 to 30. Which boat keeps the inertia better? Which one will be faster at rate of 34 to 36?
I read all of the FAQ, but still need to know if there is any difference in speed when using different rigger system. I am strong and technical, former competitor - which rigger is for me? Please list all of the options for me, from the best to the worst, based on your experience and understanding.

Answer ( from Webmaster )
F39 is your best boat.
It's bigger than the other. good at high stroke rate because the bow is very important for reduce the pitch. At low rate the U shape permit to improve the lift effect.
But the dimension don't permit variations of stroke rate simply (inertia effect)
There isn't the best rigger. There is your best rigger. Only the aliante can change the performance. you have to pretend only the stiff rigger so the carbon rigger will be the best.
