SPECIAL FITTINGS At Carl Douglas Racing Shells we don't really build ‘off-the-shelf' boats. Even on our ‘standard' models, we offer options for you to customised your boat to your individual preferences. This document will guide you through those various available options. If you have any questions please do get in touch, we are always happy to talk them through with you. Once you have decided on the perfect boat for you, please click on the Quote me a Boat page and complete the checklist. Send that to us and we will then send you a quote based on your specific requirements. The options start here with three styles of boat to cater for every taste, from the sublime to the luxurious... FAST BEAUTIFUL RESPONSIVE SINGLES DOUBLES PAIRS More responsive and a better performer than all other makes. The CD-X is tough, stiff, light and enduring. Built with the same meticulous care, to the same designs and with the same outstanding fittings as every Carl Douglas Shell, but with a hard, white, polished finish. The CD-X is a no-nonsense racing machine at a most affordable price. The original and still the best. The Custom has been developed and refined over 40 years into the pinnacle of performance and quality. This true composite combines the optimum properties of veneer, Kevlar, carbon and epoxy for the finest, stiffest, fastest shell and the smoothest experience. The hard, clear, polished finish enhances the true beauty of the matched Mahogany and Cedar grains and characteristic Maple deck stripe while protecting from mishap and misuse. The Custom is truly an object of love and a boat for life. For the person who demands the very best in everything. The Special has all the superlative quality and performance of all Carl Douglas shells, but in your very personal selection of veneers and details. Choose from a distinctive palette of beautiful veneers including Walnut, Rosewood, Black Tulip, Avodire and other exquisite woods for the ultimate high-performance personal statement. Further enhance your boat with inlaid names, logos and designs. Your Special will be a truly unique statement. Carl Douglas Racing Shells are small boat specialists and all three of the models in our range are available as singles, doubles or pairs. Of course, you may want your double to convert to a pair - no problem! And you get to steer it with our wonderful AeRowFin - also available for doubles. Our selection of options are available on all three boat classes and you can choose from the following crew-weight brackets. <60kg 70kg 78kg 85kg 92kg 100kg+ Fax +44 (0)1932 563682 Harris Boatyard, Laleham Reach, Chertsey, Surrey KT16 8RP England Web www.carldouglasrowing.com Facebook /CarlDouglasRacingShells

SPECIAL FITTINGS HULL SECTIONING HULL SECTIONING SPECIAL VENEERS DETAIL DECORATION OTHER FINISHES Road–traffic regulations in English–speaking countries are generally helpful to owners of singles and doubles, but in mainland Europe it is generally illegal to car–top one–piece shells due to the overhang at one or both ends of the car. Our purpose–built racks for sectioned singles allow the boat to travel sectioned or in one piece. When sectioned, our shells will normally fit within prescribed length limits, can be securely racked, do not exceed the permitted vehicle roof loadings and may be...

VENEERS Unique to our shells, over and above their exceptional quality, performance and durability, is the amazing range of woods and finishes that we offer those who seek a high-performance racing shell of outstanding character. Our classic and most familiar shell is, of course, the Custom. You may have this in your free choice/mix of Mahoganies (African or Brazilian) and Cedar outer veneers, with Maple deck stripes. However, the Specials allow you to have the finish and detailing of your dreams without compromising performance or durability. It is impossible to give the full range of...

INLAID LETTERING You may specify text and initials in your preferred styles, veneers, fonts, details and positions, with our experts ready to help and advise. INLAYS & MOTIFS Your chosen boat name in applied vinyl lettering with font, format, detail and colour all to your specification - normally positional on the hull near the bow or on the saxboards. We can also provide other lettering such as ID numbers for rowing on British waterways. To personalise your Custom and Special shells we can insert marquetry inlays in contrasting veneers within the outer laminate. Almost anything is possible...

DECK STRIPES SPECIAL FIGURES OTHER EFFECTS In this Special avodire sectional double, contrasting striping in the cockpits gives a beautiful result. Where appropriate, or desired by the client, we can vary our characteristic deck centre-stripe. Thus a Bird's Eye Maple deck, being very light in colour, will not work well with a standard Maple centre-stripe but looks great with a darker stripe. Normally there is no surcharge for stripe colour coordination, but we offer an option of a braided carbon stripe for £200. This weave gives the sense of great depth, the pattern seeming to move beneath...

CONTAINER SHIPPING INDIVIDUAL BOXES CAR-TOP COLLECTION OR DELIVERY Where possible, when trans-ocean shipping we try to coordinate boat orders and load several boats, well-cushioned, into a dedicated shipping container which we load and seal at our works. This is the best way to ship and minimises freight and handling costs. The container remains locked from the moment it leaves us until it reaches its port of destination. The owners of the boats then are responsible, between themselves, for arranging unloading, clearance and onward transportation. Generally boats are bubble-wrapped for...
