COASTAL BOATS

Our newly designed coastal boats have been optimised to perform well in all aspects of coastal racing. Their unique design provides buoyancy and lift, shedding water off quickly and keeping the cockpit dry. The sharpness of the boat reduces form drag, while the ample width at the mid-section provides vital stability. As a platform for beach sprinting, the rocker keel and removable skeg make it very quick to round the buoy, while the sloped bow below the water line is ideal for beach landing. Our boats have been customised for beach sprints with a curve in the plumb bow to prevent digging and the keel line designed to help steering in high wind and wave conditions.

ADAPTIVE BOATS

Our adaptive shells are every bit as WinTech as their sister racing boats. Both the Explorer 1x and 2x are Klaus Filter designed hulls and employ the same construction advancements. Each component was explicitly developed through research and testing with members of the adaptive rowing community. WinTech adaptive boats are a staple amongst the New Zealand and worldwide para-rowing community.

OARS

Taking cues from our line-up of boats, WinTech is proud to offer a full range of oars and sculls with models featuring technological advancements for elite-level rowers and durable, price-conscious options for training and recreational users.

RECREATIONAL BOATS

WinTech Racing's line of recreational shells combines the lineage of quality and performance from our racing fleet, with a stable and relaxed design. Perfect for learn-to-row, novices, or the experienced rower who wants to explore or row casually. Recreational boat options include 1x, 2x, 4x+, 5x, 6+, and a youth 1x.
