Rowing shell : competition pair skiff FluidesignModern hull designing has determined that the pair and the double should share the same shape. In the past it was felt the pair required a more stable shape with a flatter bottom, but over time it has been proven that the traditional double shapes were faster, and the pairs built from those shapes were also faster as pairs. Armed with this knowledge, we built our pair upon the successes of the FLUIDESIGN double. Our double is one of the narrowest on the market, and enjoys a reputation for its speed. Despite using the same hull for our pairs, the crews using the FLUIDESIGN pair find that it is no less stable than pairs with a flatter bottom. They really enjoy its friendly steering and find it exceptionally responsive. We have followed our own lead, and delivered a bow mounted sweep rigger that offers improved stiffness, a much larger height range, a more balanced weight distribution, and more steering shoe freedom when stroke steered.
