Classic sailing and rowing open boat Whitehall
WHITEHALL 17 EXPEDITION
The New Whitehall Spirit 17 Expedition Model is designed to fill the needs of those who want to travel farther afield, go exploring/camping or participate in one of the RAID-style regattas, which are growing in popularity.
An easily trailerable boat, the Whitehall Spirit 17 Expedition is perfect as a classic daysailer, or health-giving exercise rowing machine. Venturing farther afield, it's great for exploring coastal waters, lakes or rivers. Drawing less than a foot of water, and fully beachable, one can tuck into quiet, uncrowded spots that are still easy to find.
The salty looking sail rig features a roller furling code-zero style light air jib, and a reefable main for higher winds. The beautiful Sitka spruce mast is sleeved to break into two parts for stowing on board allowing for a clean rowing set up. A solid bronze centerboard and teak kick up rudder enhance it's shallow water abilities.
Easily handled by one, there is the option of up to three rowers in a traditional rowing configuration, or one or two rowers in the slide seat configuration which features hinged bronze outriggers and 9'6"sculls to achieve a top rowing speed of over 5 knots, with an easy, smooth stroke.
