ABSTRACT:
Eight man rowing shells in lightweight and super heavyweight configurations have an elongated hull with a bow and stern and a smoothly tapered hull surface therebetween. The hull surfaces have particular cross-sections below the waterline at stations spaced along the hull waterline. Other parameters for both super heavyweight and lightweight hulls are provided such as waterline length, entry and exit angles, maximum beam, maximum draft, and metacentric height. In both configurations, the hull itself may be made of a laminate of a fiber composite skin over a core, such as a carbon fiber/honeycomb laminate, or of natural materials such as wood.
