Ungazikhetha Kanjani Izikebhe Zokugwedla Ezingcono Kakhulu

Izikebhe zokugwedla zitholakala ngezitayela ezahlukene, ngayinye inezici zayo, izinhlelo zokusebenza, izinzuzo, kanye nokubi. Nakuba ezinye izikebhe zenzelwe ukuzilibazisa, ezinye zenzelwe imiqhudelwano yezokusubatha. Ngenxa yalokho, kubalulekile ukuhlola izici ezimbalwa zedizayini ezithinta ukusebenza.

Lesi sihloko sicubungula ezinye zezici ezibaluleke kakhulu zokwakhiwa kwesikebhe esigwedlayo futhi sigqamisa izici ezibaluleke kakhulu okufanele zicatshangelwe mayelana nokuphepha, isivinini, nokusebenza kahle.

Imakethe yezikebhe ezigwedlayo

Imakethe yezikebhe ezigwedlayo kulindeleke ukuthi ikhule ngezinga lokukhula elihlanganisiwe lonyaka (CAGR) lika 3.8% ukufinyelela ku-USD 1.6 billion ngo-2025. INyakatho Melika izoba nesabelo semakethe esikhulu kunazo zonke.

Izikebhe zokugwedla ngezinjongo zokungcebeleka ziya ngokuya ziduma njengoba abantu abaningi befuna izivivinyo ze-cardio. Lezi izikebhe baziwa kakhulu ngezici zabo zokufundela umsebenzi kanye nezicelo ezingezona ezomsebenzi, okuzosiza ukuqinisa ingxenye yemakethe.

Imboni yezihambi nayo itshala imali eningi, okuzosiza ukwandisa imakethe ngokuqhubekayo. Abanye babadlali abahamba phambili emakethe bahlanganisa uRow Alden, Echo Rowing, Empacher, Rowing Yard Wiersma, Durham Boat Company, kanye noSykes Racing phakathi kwabanye.

Izinto okufanele uzicabangele lapho ukhetha isikebhe sokugwedla

Kunezici ezimbalwa okufanele uzicabangele ukuze ukhethe ukugwedla okungcono kakhulu Isikebhe. Ukukhetha isikebhe sokugwedla kuzoncika emsebenzini osuzokwenziwa, njengokuzilibazisa noma ukuncintisana, ukuthi ukugwedla kuzokwenziwa echibini noma emanzini olwandle, kanye nendawo yokuhlala edingekayo.

Uhlobo lwesikebhe sokugwedla

Amagobolondo amanzi flat

Njengoba igama liphakamisa, lezi zikebhe zokugwedla zilungele amanzi azinzile futhi abushelelezi lapho abasebenzisi bangasebenzisa amagobolondo abo e-flatwater racing ukuze badabule. Aziwa nangokuthi ama-sculls futhi afaneleka kakhulu kubagwedli abanolwazi. Amagobolondo amanzi ayisicaba alula, aminyene, futhi made ngokwedlulele, anokulinganisa cishe amafidi angu-27 ubude, okuwenza kube inselele ukuphotha. Banezihlalo ezishelelayo kanye nama-outrigger avame ukwakhiwa esikebheni.

Vula amagobolondo amanzi

Lezi zikebhe zilula, zincane, futhi ziyashesha futhi zingasetshenziswa emanzini amagagasi. Atholakala ngemiklamo ehlukahlukene ukuze asetshenziswe ukuzilibazisa, kusukela kumamodeli ahamba kancane futhi azinzile kuya kumiklamo emisha enobude obungamafithi angu-24 noma ngaphezulu kanye nemishayo eminingi yamanzi engu-12 kuya ku-14 intshi. Zinesisindo esiphakathi kuka-31.5 namakhilogremu angu-40 futhi zenziwe nge-fiberglass, i-kevlar, noma i-carbon fiber.

Amanzi avulekile izikebhe ingamelana nezindawo eziyinselele futhi ilungele ukusetshenziswa kokuzijabulisa. Abagwedli abaningi bezokungcebeleka basebenzisa lezi zikebhe ukuze bazivocavoce, futhi bangasetshenziswa emanzini amabi kakhulu uma bebhangqwe namagobolondo amanzi ayisicaba.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, lawa magobolondo afaneleka kakhulu emiqhudelwaneni yokukhuthazela lapho imizila ikalwa ngamamayela (phakathi kuka-5 no-30+) kunamamitha, futhi amafrikhwensi nesivinini kungaphansi kancane ukuze kuphathwe ububanzi obubanzi.

I-skiffs yendabuko

Amakhono endabuko alungele abaqalayo kanye nalabo abafuna ukugwedla ngezinjongo zokungcebeleka. Ama-skiffs esimanje ayisindi, mancane, futhi alawuleka kakhulu kune-skiffs endala yokugwedla. Ngaphambilini, izingidi zezigwedlo zazinanyathiselwa ezinsimbini zezibhamu, kodwa manje sezinamathiselwe kuma-outriger esikebhe ngezinsimbi ezishelelayo zokuhlala. Izigwedlo ezinde zingasetshenziswa ngoba isihlalo esishelelayo sinokufinyelela isandla eside.

Izihlalo zokugwedla

Ngaphambi kokukhetha isikebhe sokugwedla, umuntu udinga ukucabangela inani labagwedli kanye nekhono lokuhlala lesikebhe. Kunamagama ambalwa okufanele uwaqaphele lapho ugwedla izikebhe ezinabagwedli. Isihlalo sisetshenziselwa ukukhomba abagwedli. Isihlalo sokuqala sigcinelwe umgwedli ongaphambi kwe Isikebhe, ozoba ngowokuqala ukuqeda.

Inombolo yesibili iphambi komnsalo, ilandelwa ezintathu, ezine, ezinhlanu, eziyisithupha, nesikhombisa. Umgwedli onekhono kakhulu onesu elihle kakhulu uthatha isihlalo sokuqala noma umnsalo ngoba i-stroke yabo isungula isigqi kanye nenani lemivimbo ngomzuzu okufanele ilandelwe abanye abagwedli.

Impahla ye-Hull

Ukusebenza kokugwedla Isikebhe kuthonywa ukuqina nokukhanya kwawo, okwenza kudingeke ukuba kusetshenziswe izinto zobuchwepheshe obuphezulu njenge-kevlar, i-carbon fiber, nezinye izinhlobo zezinto ezihlanganisiwe.

Izinkuni kanye nenhlanganisela yizinto zokwakha ezijwayelekile kakhulu ezisetshenziswa ekwakhiweni kwezikebhe zokugwedla. Izinkuni zibiza kakhulu kunezinhlanganisela ze-kevlar kodwa ziqinile. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, inhlanganisela ihlala isikhathi eside futhi iyalawuleka mayelana nokuphatheka nokugcinwa.

Umumo we-Hull

Uma isilinganiso sobubanzi/ubude singu-1 kuya ku-4, izimbotshana ezinephansi eliyisicaba zinikeza ukuzinza okuhle kokuqala (ukuzinza lapho ungena esikebheni) nokuzinza okuhle kokugcina (ukuzinza lapho wehla esikebheni). Izikebhe eziphansi eziyisicaba zingashesha futhi zibe lula ukuzakha uma umuntu efuna ukwakha isikebhe sokugwedla. Nokho, zingaba nomsindo omncane lapho zingena ku-chop njengoba umnsalo ushaya amanzi.

Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ama-hulls anephansi eliyindilinga ahleleke kakhudlwana, anomumo ogobile, futhi ahamba emanzini kalula nangokuthula. Zivamise ukusebenza njengama-skiffs amancane kaseyili futhi zizinzile uma zincike ohlangothini olulodwa.

Izakhi zomklamo wezikebhe zokugwedla

Ubude nobubanzi

Ububanzi be-beam buwukucatshangelwa okubalulekile; ugongolo oluwumzila wamanzi oluwumngcingo luzokwenza isikebhe singazinzi, kwandise ingozi yokuthi abagibeli bawele emanzini. A Isikebhe enomugqa wamanzi obanzi imelana kakhulu namagagasi.

Esinye isici okufanele sicatshangelwe isikhala phakathi kwezingidi ezigwedlwayo, njengoba kuzoba nzima ukubamba izigwedlo uma zisondelene kakhulu. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, uma amarowu eqhelelene kakhulu, ukugwedla nakho kuzoba yinselele. Ezikebheni ezigwedlwayo ezincane futhi ezisheshayo emanzini avikelekile, ama-outrigger angafakwa ukusiza ukuhlukanisa ama-rowlock.

Ukuphakama kwe-freeboard kungenye into okufanele icatshangelwe lapho ukhetha isikebhe sokugwedla. Uma i-freeboard iphakeme kakhulu, isikebhe sizobanjwa umoya, futhi umgwedli uzozabalaza ukulawula isikebhe emoyeni omkhulu.

ubude

Ubude besikebhe esigwedlayo kufanele bulinganise kahle phakathi kwezinto ezithonya isivinini saso. Isikebhe esincane sizoba nesivinini esilinganiselwe, kuyilapho isikebhe esikhulu sizobe senyuke ukungqubuzana nendawo enkulu emanzi. Ngenxa yalokho, ubude obuncane obungamamitha angu-16 kuyelulekwa. Nokho, ukulinganisa isikebhe isikhathi eside kunobude obunconyiwe kungaba luqili, ngisho noma isikebhe sishesha kunejubane elinconyiwe.

Isisindo

Isisindo singabekwa kumnsalo wesikebhe esigwedlayo noma siye phambili ukuze sinikeze indawo yesibili yokugwedla. Ngenxa yesisindo saso, isikebhe sinakho kokubili okuhle nokubi. Isikebhe esilula, ngokwesibonelo, sizoqala ukwehlisa ijubane ngokushesha nje lapho isigwedlo sesiphelile.

Ngakolunye uhlangothi, isikebhe esinzima kakhulu, kungenzeka siqhubeke siqhubekele phambili. Izikebhe zesimanje zilula kakhulu kunezikebhe ezigwedlwayo ezakhiwe nge-clinker.

Qalisa

Ukunquma indlela isikebhe esihlala ngayo emanzini. Isikebhe ngasinye sakhiwe ukuze sihlale emanzini ngendlela ethile, futhi kuba nzima nakakhulu ukugwedla uma isikebhe siqinile noma sigobile. Ukukhothama kwenza isikebhe singazinzi futhi kube inselele ukusiqondisa, kuyilapho ukugoba phansi kwenza ukugwedla kube nzima njengokungathi udonsa isisindo.

Kodwa-ke, ukulungiswa okulula kwezihlalo zabagibeli noma ukugcinwa kwegiya kuzohambisana nokunqunywa. Abaningi abasaqalayo abawunaki u-trim, okwenza ukugwedla kube nzima kakhulu.

Ngamafuphi

Njengoba kushiwo ngaphambili, ukukhetha isikebhe esifanelekile sokugwedla akulula ngoba izici eziningi kufanele zicatshangelwe, okuhlanganisa uhlobo lomsebenzi, inani labagwedli, kanye nezakhi zomklamo wesikebhe sokugwedla. Uhlobo lomnyakazo wokugwedla, okungukuthi, kungaba okokuzijabulisa noma ukuncintisana, nakho kubalulekile ukucatshangelwa. Noma kunjalo, ngokulandela amaphuzu achazwe lapha, abathengi bangakwazi ukwaziswa ngezici ezibalulekile okufanele bazicabangele lapho bekhetha isikebhe sokugwedla.
