The Canoe Sprint is making its Olympic debut in 2012, while the Canoe Slalom, modeled after Slalom Skiing, has been an Olympic sport since the Barcelona games 20 years ago.
The disciple requires 13,000 liters of water to rush down the course every second. These canoes must navigate a course with up to 25 gates in white water conditions. Needless to say, the impact forces on both the internal and external layers of the canoe materials are significant and must be capable of withstanding these harsh conditions.
By using resins and composites with a resin matrix, which are widely used for building hulls and products destined for permanent water contact, including competition boats and surfboards, these canoes will be ready to take on the course.
The best way to test the impact resistance of the resins used is to perform fully instrumented impact tests according to ASTM D3763 or ISO 6603-2.
