The Julia Child of rowing instructors! Great job. Thank you.

Nice boat - where's the "electric" bit?

From what I saw, it’s rather expensive, compared to a Laser sailing boat; about 2000€ more…

Отличное приключение и очень хорошее видео о нем, пожалуй лучший отчет об этой гонке, который я видел! Удачи вам и новых достижений

Thanks so much. I was looking for an English version but this silent version is wonderful!

Bravo Mathieu, et merci pour cette vidéo émouvante

Do you have a North American distributor?

Yes, I would love to see how did you put that boat on a car top. :) I've found my Literace 1x heavy (77 lb) and really awkward to lift for a solo person. It's a real challenge if you have a tall car like SUV. I am showing my car topping attempts in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6rEY6qhq9iohtk

I'm sorry but the first things is to close the two oarcloack , you don't seat your boat before

Bonne retraite Mathieu et bonne chance pour tes prochaines aventures !

Bravo Mathieu ! Heureuse d'avoir assisté au démarrage de cette fabuleuse aventure. Je vous souhaite le meilleur. Bien à vous Sophie

I am really enjoying David's book. Highly recommended! At 69, after 55 years of paddling and racing kayaks, canoes and SUPs, I am learning solo sculling with Literace 1x rowing shell in Colorado. My training didn’t go as expected due to back problems and other health issues. Despite these setbacks, I am making progress, though I am still limited to short rowing sessions of about 4-5 miles. On the bright side, I’ve been taking plenty of pictures and videos, and posting them on my youtube @FitOver67 channel. Of course, I wonder if there are any other Liteboats or similar coastal rowing shells in Colorado or vicinity.

I love this! I just bought one this morning! I have done quite a lot of sculling, but I am not as young as I used to be either. I'm also going to be rowing on a big lake (Lake Arenal, next to the Arenal Volcano in Costa Rica), so the wind has a little more fetch, and it will sometimes be a little choppier than the rivers I am used to. I can't tell you how excited I am about getting back out there!

Thank you so much! I just started rowing and these tips really helped me get better!

Molto bene l'idea complimenti

Tabarouette, tout un exploit !

Thanks for this post. Got in contact with David because the book would only be shipped to US or Canada. He’s a great writer and found perfect word for the experience of rowing. He’s not just writing about it, he’s feeling and living it. Wish him and everyone here not necessarily „gold medals, but golden moments“ with a rowing boat.

Of course the LiteSport is faster. As a sports car is faster than a family car. But it doesn't really matter, as the X Row seems to have both a pretty good glide and speed and a lot of comfort. And I'm sure the X Row is a lot more seaworthy than the LiteSport, as the stability is a lot higher. I have done 5.5 knots average in my LiteSport over one hour, and a max speed (few seconds) of 8 knots on flat water. The LiteSport is really funny and sporty to sail, even in waves, but it's quite technical too, when it gets tough (but surprisingly safe). What seems more interesting is the X Rows ability to carry luggage for cruising and maybe a stay over night in a bay somewhere out there - that opens for a lot of fine adventures. And I find it a very pretty design too :-). All the best Per - Denmark

Même 7 ans plus tard, cela mérite un grand bravo !!

Hello, are the litesport 1x and the litesport 5.0 the same boats ? Thank you very much for your answers

Thank you for your nice video. What is difference between the liteboat litesport 1x vs litesport 5.0 ?

Le 5.0 est une merveille

These have been very helpful as I start my rowing journey

Tks for sharing. Very touching. David is a poet and philosopher ... so well spoken, on the point. Indeed for some of us who love this motion, its a liberation of the mind from all the burdons of land life. And adapting to the boat's needs it gives us all back to enjoy the skulling in nature close to the elements. I am just at the beginning (5th rowing session in last 2 weeks) ... but having rowed for more than 30 years on the indoor machines, I did know that its "my thing". Running is a torture, mountain biking out door is ok, skating is fun ... but all the required motions on these sports tools required parts of the body. While rowing at such is "whole motion". Tks to David for his wise words. It encourages me to move on my own personal rowing journey (just at age of 59). ;-)

Since I am David’s N. California rowing partner, I can vouch for his LiteBoat commentary. Although I usually row in standard racing shells & open water Maas boats, I am very impressed with the LiteBoat’s versatility! Perfect shell for open water and off-shore rowing! BTW David’s book about beginning rowing is well done; a very useful resource for first-time rowers at any age! Phil Jonik

Génial comme idée bravo à vous

awesome ... today I had my 4th training unit in a single skiff C1 ... at the very beginning to learn the technic. With a background in 45 years in sailing the dream is to have one day a coastal rowing boat ... seems a good concept you realized with the Xrow model.

Inspiring video, thank you Liteboat !!

È molto bello. Si potrebbe sapere il costo? Fate spedizioni?

Superbe idée

Lovely boat. I have a Litesport, which will of course be a bit faster and more sporty, but the stability and ability to carry equipment for several days of cruising makes this boat very tempting 🙂

Super aboutissement Je vous souhaite un grand succès pour un très beau produit!!! 😃

Bravo Mathieu, Belle vidéo , ça va m'inspirer pour emmener June (Berger Australien du 10 ans) avec moi sur mon liteboat !! J'ai pas vu ton chien aux avirons 😂😂

Wow…very nice!!

Can one see this in person and test it in Stockholm, Sweden? how much is it in Sweden? do you also sell oars? how to best store it the days one does not use it? thanks!

is it possible to add the front row system to this boat? or do you have a front-row system that one could have as an option when purchasing your boat? that is really what I am looking for! or a double set up so two people can row facing each other! that would really nice for a couple 💞

If it just rowed facing forward, I would be onboard.

Looks like a standard coastal boat. How is it different? What does it weigh?

Can the 4.6 be made with the folding riggers? Brilliant idea!

Fascinating engineering and a lovely boat. I only wish I could fit the Liteboat XP in my Garage! The XP16 is a likely candidate for my retirement raid/rowing, voile et avirons boat

Chapeau!

Nice activity. I hope to visit you this season

You need to make some Dyneema soft shackles for quicker rigging so you don’t have to worry about using pliers.

Would it have limitations with coastal rowing? Would this be recommended for flat water only?

Is it possible to get drawings and dimensions for these boats please?

Looks so peaceful.

Looks so peaceful.

한국에서도 구입할 수 있었으면 좋겠어요.
