About the Boat

Normally balance and speed are related: the fastest boat is also more unstable…

That was the challenge, having a racing boat that was as fast as the 560 but as stable as the 550. And that is how the Vanquish was born!

It has some extra volume on the back in the shape of chimes, and that support makes it super stable and incredibly easy to steer (just with soft touches in the direction pedals) giving it very precise control in every single wave.

At the same time, the lift created by the extra volume keeps the wet surface similar to the 560. The Vanquish is made for all those paddlers looking for extra speed and competitiveness but are not ready for the pure racer 560.

Available in 3 different sizes: ML (<75Kg), L (75-90Kg) and XXL (>95Kg).

Layups Description

P	Polyethylene	Built-in polyethene material. With more than 50% recycled material!
A1	Fiberglass Epoxy	This is the basic layup that is meant to be an affordable option for touring and learning boats.
F	Hybrid Carbon Epoxy	A very durable and resistant layup, ideal for sprint training and competition. A great balance between stiffness and price.
WWR	Carbon/Kevlar Epoxy	It was specifically developed for down river, marathon training, and sea racing. It stands out for the balance between its lightness and stiffness.
G	Carbon Honeycomb Epoxy	High-quality construction, amazing stiffness, prepared for high performance.
E	Lightweight Carbon Epoxy	It was specifically developed for marathon events. As light as it can be while being very resilient in a demanding sport.
SCS	Solid Composite System	Provides an excellent performance level because of it’s extreme stiffness, the result of using state-of-the-art materials and technologies. Ideal for high level competition. This layup also stands out for the available options, such as, weights, covers, fittings and designs.
FC	Full Carbon	The beauty of a clear carbon boat while being the stiffest layup, all possible by using an infusion process for maximum fiber and resin impregnation.
AIR	Ultralight Weight	Was specifically developed for surfski boats, standing out for being extremely lightweight. It’s especially suited for high performance in all conditions.

How to Setup your Nelo Boat

The Perfect trim | Valid for flatwater models

As with any high-performance machine, there is an ideal configuration where our boats are at peak efficiency, specifically with the angle of attack (pitch). This guide will help you trim your boat in order to be at that perfect angle when at speed.

Check the table and images below to find the right measures for your boat size. That’s how you find the optimum static rending.
Using a marker trace a small straight line, according to the right measure indicated in the table, on the bow for the static line;
With the boat stopped, adjust your seat and footrest position so that the static line is levelled with the waterline. At that point is the Optimum Static Rending.

The measures we provide are for the median weight for each boat size (80 kg on an L, for example). So if you are on the limits of the boat’s weight range, the line will be over or under water, but the most important is that the static line is still levelled with the waterline.

DISCLAIMER
These ideal trims were the result of real-world testing and CFD analysis, under optimal conditions: flat water, constant speed, no wind, and average water temperature. Meaning that these results may not apply to other scenarios.
