RAMEZ AVEC NOUS
Nous construisons des bateaux à rames océaniques haut de gamme pour aventuriers
Le bateau à rame océanique Whaleboat O28
Le Whaleboat O28 est un bateau à rame, entièrement équipé, avec cabines, prêt à affronter n’importe quel océan. Nous sommes très fiers de ses lignes, et encore plus de la construction et de l’ingénierie de qualité supérieure.
La vie à bord du O28 est devenue plus simple, car il a été rempli jusqu’au bord de nouvelles solutions à d’anciens problèmes.
Le bateau à rame de pleine mer Whaleboat C23
Whaleboat a commencé à développer des bateaux à rame en 2005. Nos premières constructions étaient des créations uniques : canot à rame ‘ouvert’, sans cabines. Ayant ramé nous-mêmes ces canots pendant des milliers de miles en mer, nous avons acquis une connaissance profonde de ce qu’un bateau requiert pour naviguer dans toutes les conditions imaginables, tant géographiques que météorologiques. Cette connaissance alliée à notre expérience a abouti au C23 primé, le bateau à rame d’aventure le plus polyvalent au monde.
Notre clientèle a ramé des C23 de la mer du Nord jusqu’à la mer de Banda (Indonésie), elle a surfé les vagues des spots les plus emblématiques d’Europe et elle a campé sur quelques-unes des plages les plus isolées du monde.
Avec le Whaleboat C23 vous êtes assurés de vivre l’aventure à l’état pur.

Footage of the Whaleboat ocean rowing boat Alexia being towed towards Nova Scotia, Canada. She was abandoned when the rowing crew decided to abort their North Atlantic crossing last month due to seasickness, and had been adrift for 14 days.
A commercial fishing vessel found her and towed her back to land, for about 200 miles at 10 knots average. The crew of the fishing vessel was amazed how exceptionally well she rode the waves and handled the heavy conditions. We appreciate the opinion of these professionals, who spend all their time at sea.
When they arrived in port, the fishermen found the full equipment, including a bottle of sunscreen and a coffee mug still on deck!
A modern-day Nantucket sleigh ride...

How long? It`s been almost 3 years since the MV Savvy Joan ended up in my care. In the first year, I spent a lot of time figuring out how to manage the boat out of the water on boat supports.
In the second year, I discovered that the boat was in need of repairs, particularly because the berth in the bow had Aspergillus mold. The fiberglass hull is still in good shape though. The berth had to be ripped out and rebuilt. That`s what I did this past year.
I didn`t know if I could do it. Especially because, the boat was not in a place where I lived and I have had to travel to and from it. I didn`t have any help. The boat was vandalized several times as well. Things got even more challenging this past summer, when the hiway into Port Alberni, BC was closed so much after the #cameronlakefire.
But now, the boat is at the point of know return! It is said that boats are a " symbol of journey" and "a voyage of life". The challenge that I faced working on this vessel has given me strength and courage to overcome limitations in my life. For this, I am grateful.

Tom, Koen`s rock-climbing buddy in the late eighties, and since long living in France running an outdoor activities business, is always in for an adventure. A new adventure started with a question about a year ago "You think Sophie and I can row around Corsica in a C23 by the end of this summer? And we`ll bring the dog too!" Yes, that`s possible! If you both start learning how to row straight away!
By the end of the summer they pushed off from a Corsican beach and started their adventure.
Tom, being a professional mountain guide, understands the importance of communication and back-up, so he asked his mom Lien, an avid, life-long sailor herself, to function as safety officer, following along on land by car.
Rowing around any island, big or small, is a serious business, demanding a profound knowledge of the local currents, rock formations, hazardous winds and specific, unusual weather patterns. Painfully demonstrated by the hurricane that hit Corsica only days before they set off!
Prepared for the worse, they loved every bit of the adventure, and so did mom and the dog!

Gold! Whaleboat O28 ocean rowing boat won gold at the Henry van de Velde Design Awards earlier this week. The jury was especially impressed by the `craft pushed to its limits`, and as innovation is one of the main criteria we`re even more proud to see our efforts rewarded.
Our thanks to the jury, @flandersdcfordesign and all partners for the organisation!
Visit the exposition at Bozar until 2 April.

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.
