DRILLED EXTENSION HOLES VS. MOULDED RECESSESUpdated a year ago

Drilled holes destroy the carbon structure and are therefore less durable - at least in theory. However, our experience on the water has shown that there is no difference compared to moulded recesses. To generate a moulded rcecess the carbon fibers must be „folded“ at a 90° angle which is just as bad for the structure as a drilled hole (see above under 2 PHASE BODY CONSTRUCTION).
On the other hand drilled holes are faster and cheaper in production. This allows us to spend the money where it really makes a difference to the durability (e.g. see above under TRIANGLE BEARING CONSTRUCTION).
