The Westcoast 11.6 slide seat single scull rowboat flies along using 9’6″ sculling oars. It easily handles rowing in nasty chop or waves. Tracking is positive due to the full-length tracking keel. When utilized as a yacht tender or at the cottage, the sliding seat sculling gear provides complete exercise making it a perfect personal gym.
The ergonomics of the sculling gear is virtually identical to a racing shell, meaning there is no stress on the back, arms, or legs. The oars are perfectly balanced to the rower.
This boat handles conditions that are way too rough for a racing scull or even an open water shell. It is an ideal shoreboat or yacht tender, great for out at the cabin, parked on a dock, or on a trailer in the garage.
It can carry passengers while in slide seat sculling mode and easily converts back to a traditional fixed-seat rowboat for transporting more people or gear. Two fixed seat rowing stations enable a choice of rowing position depending on the load carried.
See the Traditional Westcoast 11.6 model for more details about traditional row mode for this boat.
