What is the best boat if there is no price limit?
Vespoli, Appollo, Fluid Design, Hudson, WinTech, Empacher...
They are all so similar, which is the best?|||The answer is only for you to decide. Competitors at the international level will race singles in a variety of boat manufacturers. There is no leader in manufacturing 1x's.
Empacher, hands down, makes the best 8+'s. In my experience, no one made a straight four or quad like Hudson. This does not mean either manufacturer's singles are the best.
You'll need to train in the different types to know what works for you.|||Try and test as many different brands of single as you can .
Decide if you like the wing rigger or traditional , you will choose the boat based on the set up of the boat , how it runs in the water for you ,how comfortable you feel when you push your hardest etc
Go for a longer hull design as this is most forgiving in all conditions,
Look at the quality of rigger,shoes,slide , seat , how the foot stretch is adjusted...your boat has to last and perform for you.
It may come down to price you can afford in the end and delivery /shipping times and costs .
Make sure your single is right on or just below 14kgs (FISA minimum weight.) and has a really stiff hull .Your boat will increase weight and get less rigid with age so make sure it is spot on when you buy it .
Research the materials and how it is made on the manufactures websites.
Look at the brands of gear currently being used by the world champions ( NZ is the current leader in WC titles 1X, 2X in Lwt men )
Good luck
