Why build a boat if you’re not going to build the fastest one?
That question drives everything we do at Vespoli. And that’s why our research and development team includes engineers, scientists and world-renowned America’s Cup naval architects. Our team led the way with ‘size specific’ hull designs, which are still the only patented hulls in the United States. All these skilled and talented professionals also rely on the valuable insight of many of the world’s top coaches and rowers.
So, what has all this brain-power accomplished? Nothing short of the world’s fastest and most revolutionary rowing shells. Our infusion of aerospace technology and America’s Cup yacht racing technology into the art and science of rowing shells has delivered radical hull shapes — and equally radical performance.
Club. Scholastic. Collegiate. Olympic. You name the level of competition, and for over 25 years, Vespoli has led the way. Countless crews have medalled in VESPOLI shells and countless new programs have begun their fleets with VESPOLI new and used shells.
Performance. Strength. Quality. Pick three.
Our hulls provide the ultimate in balancing stiffness and ‘rowability’. Proprietary computer programs, simulations and extensive tank testing have resulted in a full line of racing shells that fit almost any size crew while minimizing wave and frictional drag and maintaining a high level of stability.
Add the signature VESPOLI stiffness to these high performance designs and you have the ultimate rowing shell! VESPOLI construction techniques utilize the best materials and state of the art ‘high temperature’ curing. The result is the ‘stiffest’ shells on the market. Hull flex and torque are minimized so that every stroke by every rower is translated into pure speed. Every cubic inch of a Vespoli shell precisely reflects our obsessive attention to the finest details of rowing ergonomics, right down to the carbon seats and custom designed rowing shoes.
