Watertight compartments are an essential part of our ocean rowing boats. It's easy to say 'watertight' but how is this tested? Filling each compartment with water would be one way, but the faster and more precise - although possibly very confronting! - solution is to check for airflow. Air can be sucked out of the compartment using a vacuum pump or air can be pumped into each compartment. The result is the same: at least 2 ton/square meter of pressure is applied to the structure, and will hold if there are no leaks. Test succeeded.

In the picture: the Whaleboat C23 adventure rowboat and O28 ocean rowboat, a perfect pair.
While preparing for your ocean adventure, the C23 is a great choice for training and getting your sea legs It’s a fully seaworthy boat, easily transportable, less dependent on wind directions than an ocean rowing boat and can take 1 to 4 crew, lots of gear and a serious beating. And when you get back home after your ocean crossing and long for the freedom on the water, the C23 is again at hand to take the family (and dog!) camping along the coast of your choice.
Get in touch for our combination plans for the C23 and O28 and we also have rental options available for both.
