THE RANGE
Great on the flat, even better on moving water!
- C102 1x: All around 1x, designed to excel in waves and harsher sea conditions
- C103 1x: Fast and less stable 1x designed for highly skilled coastal rowers and less wavy conditions
- C202A 2x: Exceeds in surfing and harsher sea conditions
- C402 4x+: the most versatile C4x+ on the market, start to surf from very small wave, and very fast turning
Designed to excel in waves and harsher sea conditions.
The extra stability makes it a comfortable boat to row in all type of sea conditions, and this extra comfort will be turned into speed as you can easily apply your rowing technique.
Designed for highly skilled coastal rowers and less wavy conditions.
Like no other 2x, having the same characteristics as our CO4x+ it exceeds in surfing and harsher sea conditions. Smashed both the men's and women's previous best times in rough conditions at the 2018 and 2019 Around The Island 45km marathon race in Hong Kong.
Proving itself as the best and the most versatile CO4x+ on the market. With even small waves coming from stern, it will start to surf. The boat runs beautifully and does not stop when going through waves. This boat won 4 WRCC medals on flat conditions, 6 medals on the moving water and has set records in big swells and waves.
