Taz pretty much had the falls nailed... I was regularly paddling a batmax in those days, but spent a bunch of days in a gyramax for bony rivers and flat out play... Obviously not nearly as responsive and the lack of real edges to carve on caught me a bunch ...

BOAT SOLD

Used classic vintage Batmax slalom C-1 available. Lightweight kevlar & S-glass layup built by current owner in 1983 using John Sweet's Batmax mold. Used boat with normal wear & tear, but has been stored indoors and is in sound condition. ...

I only paddled one a few times in Citizen's races - my regular boat those days was a batmax - so the slasher was a heavy plastic pig that had edges good enough to flip you, but not really responsive like a real slalom boat.

... to believe that, in addition to incredible paddling, I also believe paddling gear reached its apex of cool during 1985 slalom competition. The Batmax c-1s that both Hearn and Lugbill paddled (Davey's black and red, Lugbill's natural kevlar colored), as well as the old school "domer" helmets ...

... boats for sale, I'm not looking to get rich so if you need them bring the roof racks and come over. These have been unused for a long time 1) A "batmax" It's an old design, one of the first good low volume "full length" slalom C1s. This one is basic e-glass and polyester, light weight. It pretty ...

Any idea what model this is? Looks a bit like a high volume Acrobat to me, but I'm assuming a cut down Ultramax or Batmax might be more correct?

... C1 Slalom: (During my A/B slalom years, my race boat was also my cruising boat. We didn't abuse boats nearly as much as people do now.) Ultramax Batmax Superbat Extrabat (my favorite...)

... (both vertically and horizontally). Some boats even effectively reduced the functional hull width by using "wings," like those first used in the Batmax, to narrow the hull below the waterline while still conforming to width minimums. I was one of the 5-member design team that developed both the ...

... And Shep, at your weight this Acrobat would be a squirty slalom boat and probably slower than "real" slalom boats. Remember Acrobats come from the Batmax design. So, while it may make for a slower slalom boat, it would make a really fun one. Here is better information: Manufacturer Comment: The ...

... State by a team led by John Sweet specifically for C-2 Mixed teams (max. design weight was 285 lbs.). The intention was to do for C-2 what the Batmax had done for C-1. The hull was narrower than ICF regs at the time, with only the wings making it "legal." The Torrent XL that followed the following ...

... it was shorter than a regulation slalom boat at the time and had more width and volume than the contemporaneous competitive designs (e.g. the Batmax), making it essentially a recreational river runner. Given a river feature of sufficient size and depth, it is indeed possible to ender a Gyramax. ...
