NEW FOR 2008: THE VESPOLI V1 MODEL, e HULL 8+

Designed by the best to be raced by the best
The V1 model E hull Eight is our premier boat. The V1 model is 100% PrePreg Uni-directional Carbon Fiber and Nomex Honeycomb for maximum stiffness and durability. Extra layers of higher stiffness carbon fiber are added to the E hull to create a an ultra-dense exterior 'Rhino' skin for the greatest impact resistance. Also, thicker sections of honeycomb and higher modulus carbon fiber eliminate the need for ribs which improves the boat's performance and affords the crew more interior room. The boat is cured at 250°F ensuring long term stiffness and allows painting the boat in any color with NO effect from sun or high heat.

The M2 8+

The Millennium II eight is the stiffest eight in it's class. The M2 will harness all the power of your crew and transfer it into SPEED! The M2 is built of 100% 'pre-preg' uni-directional carbon fiber and features a 'ribless' hull. A uni-directional one piece carbon seat deck finishes off this 'monocoque' style construction.

The hull is stiff, light, tough, and extremely durable. These shells come with standard high-performance features such as Super Bearing Undercarriages for smoother seat travel, Carbon Footstretchers, and Euro-Style riggers. Our unique Carbon Fin & Rudder system, wing riggers, and 'Rhino Skin' are available options.

Hull is available in EXL,EL,EM and ES sizes to perfectly fit the weight and size of your athletes.

The ULTRALITE II 8+

The Ultralite II is a very stiff and lightweight model. It has been the cornerstone of the VESPOLI line for over 20 years. This model has had a complete make over in 2005. The hull has been upgraded to 100% uni-directional carbon fiber with a honeycomb core. The enhanced hull laminate combined with Vespoli's unique carbon channel ribs gives the hull greater stiffness, durability and improved performance characteristics. It's a great fleet boat and can hold its own in any competition. Stiff and lightweight at a very affordable price.

The PERFORMER 8+

We are pleased to return the PERFORMER model to the Vespoli "stable" of fine rowing shells. Many of you know of the legendary durability of this model. This model is unique in the industry because it combines the latest E hull shapes, incredible+hull durability, moderate all-up weight and great pricing. The Performer 8+'s allow you teach, train and race your crews in the same boat!

The Performer 8+ is available in the ES, EM, EL, EXL and NOW in the EZ hull. The EZ hull shape is 40% more stable than our other E hull eights. The EZ Performer 8+ should be foundation of all programs that need to train novices. We added this boat to our line because coaches asked for hull shapes that could be rowed by both novices and experienced rowers. This hull has been created utilizing V1 design technology to be the perfect blend of stability and speed. Novice rowers will master the mechanical skills of rowing more easily and progress faster. Experienced rowers will be able hone their skills in a stable hull that lets them pull harder.
