AVANTI ROWING SHELLS
FOR TRAINING AND RACING

AVANTI, the newest and most advanced rowing shell built in the USA. These boats are designed and built to be fast trainers. Rugged, these boats are built to last. The AVANTI 4+ has six watertight compartments, ensuring that the boat will not swamp or sink. A very safe boat. We have incorporated many design features that you will only see in go-fast sail boat (America's Cup) engineering. Our designers worked with the University of Maine at Orono's AEWC Composites Center to quantify the transfer and absorption of energy as rowers work through the water. We engineered these boats to be stiff in the longitudinal and torsional axis. Our riggers transfer energy to moving the boat through the water, not to deflecting the shape of the hull.

Ribs, be they carbon or wood, cause problems over time. They crush under the nuts and bolts of riggers, water infiltrates and they soften and degrade.

AVANTI is our new four+. Carbon fiber with an innovative core system. Very stiff and smooth. No ribs. Carefully controlled epoxy weight and heat cured to develop full strength and rigidity. These boats are designed to be friendly to Women's crew teams: email us to find out why. Our focus group spoke and we listened! A fully buoyant boat. Buoyancy is safe.

Built in Biddeford, Maine, on the banks of the Saco River.
