Launching: Olympic Sprint K1 *Pic*

Well the first 2 Van Dusen Mohawk K1s are complete and we are ready for production. Sorry about the semi- commercial plug but as a long time home builder this is my first endeavor as a commercial boat builder and I am excited. The first two Mohawk’s weighed in slightly under 15lbs fully outfitted. The boats left on a truck for the world championships in Atlanta yesterday and we are hoping that last year’s winner of the 1000M sprint will repeat in this boat on Saturday.

For those of you have been following my postings the boat is made of carbon fiber and Nomex honeycomb core. Below are a couple of pictures taken in the parking lot before loading them up for Gainsville.

Regards,

Jack
