For school & university crews

Available in 4+ and 8+ the King is a staple of US Collegiate & Junior Rowing Programmes. This smooth running, fast yet stable hull holds course records at many regattas and head races including Head of the Charles. It’s long waterline helps fight boat check and porpoising, the large fin helps stabilise your crew and the higher rocker with responsive rudder makes this hull easy to manoeuvre, perfect for curvy venues.

The combination of speed, stability and manoeuvrability make this an ideal choice for university and college crews who often have less water time compared to other programmes. These hulls are available in construction options "The King" built for competitive racing and "The King SE" optimised for high performance and elite racing.

HULL FINISH

These hulls come as standard in silver and black trim with but custom colours are available on request. The interior is a spread tow "chequerboard" carbon finish.

KING SE

Optimised for high performance & elite racing

Our King SE construction goes above and beyond many elite level brands when it comes to the materials used in construction utilising only the highest grade of unidirectional prepreg high modulus carbon fibre. This ensures unmatched durability, impact resistance as well as torsional and longitudinal stiffness for ultimate performance.

KING

Built for competitive racing

Our King model utilises a stiff yet durable full carbon construction which means it offers the same (or better) material and construction methodology choice as other elite level boat builders but at a more affordable price point.
