Flat or open water single-person rowing shell

摘要

A rowing shell for recreational and/or competitive use on flat or rough water. The shell includes a sealed and waterproof hull and attachments. The hull and attachments are sleek and streamlined in design, and are formed and contoured so as to minimize water and wind resistance. The hull includes a slightly upturned bow, a flat mounting surface on which a winged outrigger assembly is removably attached to provide support for oarlocks and a substantially flat deck in the vicinity of a rower's seating area. This allows water entering the craft to exit without impeding efficient operation. The winged outrigger assembly is mounted to the hull at the bow side of the rower's seating position. The forward portion of the outrigger assembly is tapered to blend with, and conform substantially to, the fore portion contours of the hull and consist of two arcuately shaped oar outrigger arms integrally formed with the body of the outrigger assembly.
