Ozean-Ruderboot O28

Das Whaleboat O28 ist ein voll ausgestattetes Hightech-Ruderboot mit Kabinen. Es ist für jedes Gewässer geeignet.
Wir sind unglaublich stolz auf das Designs – von der einzigartigen Konstruktion bis hin zur Verarbeitung.
Das Leben an Bord des O28 ist einfacher, da wir viele Antworten auf alte Fragen gefunden haben.

Hochsee-Ruderboot C23

Seit 2005 entwickelt Whaleboat Ruderboote. Die ersten Boote waren offene Ruderboote, ohne Kabinen.
Mit diesen Booten sind wir tausende Kilometer bei unterschiedlichsten Konditionen – geographisch und meteorologisch – gerudert. Dabei haben immer weiter wertvolle Erkenntnisse für die perfekte Beschaffenheit unserer Boote gesammelt. Das preisgekrönte C23 ist das Resultat all unserer Erkenntnisse und das aktuell vielseitigste Ruderboot der Welt.
Unsere Kunden sind mit dem C23 von der Nordsee bis zum Bandasee im pazifischen Ozean gerudert. Dabei haben Sie die Wellen berühmter Suft-Destinationen gesurft und an den entferntesten Stränden der Welt kampiert.
Mit dem C23 erleben Sie Abenteuer pur.

Digitising the Whaleboat O28 It's common to start the production of a new boat by creating the design in 3D software, then build the model - as basis for the moulds - from the CAD drawings. The model for the Whaleboat O28 ocean rowboat however was originally shaped by hand, similar to the shaping of a surfboard. This creation process provides freedom, allowing full control of the organic shapes. We create a boat like a sculpture. The digital data from the software however is necessary for many purposes, that's why we're now working on a reversed approach: A few days back, @oliverdewolf and @viveshogeschool scanned the boat, using a state-of-the-art led @einscan3d scanner. The dots you see on the boat help with assessing distances and connecting fragments of the scan. Oliver 3D printed the dots (and his daughter had a great time compiling them). The result of Olivers many hours of careful work, will be a highly accurate 3D model. We will use this model to optimise future builds, glueing process, aerodynamics, wrapping design, plug and mould making, interior customisation and demoing. Virtual tours for prospects are almost here! Thank you Oliver and Vives! #boatbuildingisanart #3Dscanning #3Dprinting #veryvives #virtual #vives #collaboration #whaleboatO28 #whaleboatboatbuilding #whaleboat #shaping #craftmanship #roeiboot #roeien #rowing #ocean #belgium #koendegezelle

Meet Fritz Buyl, the Front Row weather router. In summer, Fritz eats a few weather charts for breakfast, heads to his daily job at the Oceanographic Meteorologic Station where he forecasts the weather, then goes on to send weather updates to professional competitors at sea, and before he goes to bed, he studies the latest Heavy weather sailing edition. In winter you can find him in Union Glacier Antarctica where he provides all forecasts for South Pole missions and adventurers alike. His daily briefings will guide us across the ocean following the optimal route. Based on weather system forecasts he will set the course, so we can benefit from wind and currents, and avoid depressions.

Read about @jelleveyt and his human powered #7summits adventure this week in @knackweekend , one of Belgium’s leading lifestyle mags. Jelle chose a Whaleboat C23 rowing boat for the Indonesia leg of the challenge, to reach Carstensz Pyramid in Papua. We provided the ocean rowing experience and rowed with him in one of the most remote areas of the world. Now a long term friendship with many more adventures to come. ****************** Mooi artikel in @knackweekend van @wimdenolf !! Zeer fijn interview met iemand die zijn research grondig doet en daardoor de interessante vragen stelt, merci voor het artikel! Lees het volledig online (link in bio) of koop het in de winkel. .
