Sold as either a Single or Double
Newest to our Heritage line is the Guideboat It is built on the same acclaimed hull shape and design as the Classic Heritage, but sold at a more economical price. This is a single skin boat, which means it is made from a hull mold only, similar to a canoe. The inside has a gel coat finish
The Heritage hull is famous for its stability. One can even stand in it and cast a fishing pole.
Speed wise, the Heritage is certainly the fastest traditional design that can claim the ability to stand in. How fast is that? Between 25 and 30 feet per stroke. It’s inspiring. A recent client spent 4 months using his Heritage 12 as a tender and clocked between 4mph and 6.2 mph on his GPS. That’s the 12 footer!
Whether in a 15 or an 18, the Guideboat can be purchased as a single or a double. If you order the boat as a single, it can later be retrofitted into a double by ordering the seeking rowing station and adding the mounting brackets.
The benches are wood for a touch of tradition without overwhelming maintenance. The sliding seat monorail sets on top of the bench just as in the Classic. One may remove the slider (or order it without a slide) to row in the traditional fixed seat way. For and aft are built in passenger seats, which function as the flotation compartments as well. The rigger design is fixed in the outboard position as in a shell. Top of the line Concept II oarlocks are standard.
