Gerbert Boat

The boats are three-pointers in shape. The material of the hull is wood, which was reinforced by a layer of carbon kevlar in the bottom area. The front and rear hoods are made of polyester and also have a layer of carbon kevlar. Reinhard Gerbert built the boat and hoods himself. To further increase safety, a disused Formula 500 cockpit was used on this new boat. The boats are powered by built-in motorcycle engines. This allows speeds of approx. 140 - 160 km/h to be achieved.
A safety cockpit has also been mandatory in this class since 2020.
