Life-changing Rowing Boats - The Whitehall Spirit® Solo 14 and Tango 17 Rowboats

[@ronprince1478]

Very well presented.

[@dc-wp8oc]

Professional quality video and great concise explanation. If these boats just rowed with the occupant facing forward, then I would be on board.

[@haroldaune9160]

Thx for the comment. Rowing facing forward is called paddling as in a kayak. Rowing uses legs for power so facing aft works best.

[@Tester-scratch]

Problem with rowing facing forward is that your body weight is racing toward the stern on every stroke. Like driving with your foot on the brake

[@DanaLeeGibson]

My new goal is to get one of these. It looks beautiful and would be perfect for the intercostal waterways of SW Florida.

[@haroldaune9160]

Good to hear! There are many happy owners in Florida and delivery for summer is still possible!

[@Whitehallrow]

👍👍

[@Tester-scratch]

What a brilliantly thought-out boat! Love that 7-boat rig at the end - what my rowing club would give for that...

[@hntrains2]

4:50: So, you can row a yacht! P.S. 2:52: You can actually do that with other boats (including inflatable); still, impressive - including the rowing setup.

[@bendenisereedy7865]

Love these elegant boats and I'd like to own one. I live beside a loch in the Scottish Highlands, there's really only one place to launch but the slope is steep and slippery and the boathouse, which dates from 1850, is derelict with no prospect of the owner restoring it. So I'm stuck with my PE kayak, which I trundle down to the loch on a trolley I made from bike wheels then drag across roots to the water. We also have a "tidal" range of close to 10 feet between summer and winter wet weather height, which makes launching interesting at times.

[@timhudson1846]

Wow!!! I NEED one of those boats!! I've got a tohatsu 6hp tiller motor that would be perfect for that boat !!!

[@glenacord]

OK, I’m sold. I want one!

Try rowing every day for a month you will be a beast!

[@michaelmarek3278]

In answer to your question below, the Tango 17 is a great dual purpose boat that can be rowed as a single or a double, or a single with passengers. Cheers, Michael, Sales Manager, Whitehall Rowing & Sail

[@HarryPotter-kd3bh]

Hi Michael, I had 2 questions about the copolymer boats. Do you plan on introducing a line of sailing copolymer boats? Also, where was this filmed? It seems like Maine, but you mention the company is based in Victoria, BC. Best, - Jim

[@michaelmarek54]

@@HarryPotter-kd3bh Hi Harry, In answer to your questions, this was all filmed in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada...a long way from Maine! Second, we tried a sailing rig with the copolymer Solo 14 and Tango 17 but were not completely satisfied with how it performed so we currently do not have a sailing option on offer at this point. Happy rowing!

[@alexandersheversky4947]

Great and beutiful

[@SimplicityForGood]

Do these work with the front rower designed roars?!

[@SALVATl0N]

Which is better, a 17 that I'll row alone occasionally, or a 14 were me and my partner take turns if we go together?

[@haroldaune9160]

Definitely a Tango 17

[@vanderleihernandesdossanto8788]

Qual o as dimensões do Tango 17 comprimento largura e o calado ( altura) desde ja agradeço

[@henrikkliebhan4874]

Professional and relaxed ;-) presentation of these boats. What do you think is the (negativ?) transom stiff enough to carry the load of a 1kW electric outboarder (e Propulsion Spirit 1.0)? May be someone owning this motor bought your boat in the past ....

[@haroldaune9160]

These are primarily slide seat sculling boats but a small outboard of under 12 kilos or 25 lbs will work ok. A tiller extension will be required.

[@timhudson1846]

Oh wow.. stick a short shaft outboard on that.. be excellent!!

[@happydays0220]

[@millicentsquirrelhole582]

The AirStream of row boats for a mere pittance..

[@supremeflagship8965]

I wonder if it's possible to make a Solo 17 rowing boat? Basically it's a single seater Tango 17.

[@adrianrubi5012]

Safe to beach on sand?

[@Whitehallrow]

Yes. The polymer hall and stainless steel keel make it’s very rugged and durable to land on the sand.

[@theobrown444]

Do you make any with rod holders for fishing purposes?

[@boostedlss731]

I have seen rod holders, a pot puller, beverage holders, rear view mirrors, there are probably others too.

[@theobrown444]

@@boostedlss731 Thank you!

[@MrMatt-cm6do]

I love row boats BUT I you are almost always facing ‘backwards’. Someday I hope for a convenient way to constantly see in front of me. It has to be possible. Maybe side mirrors? Or a reverse pulley system making all motions function in reverse.

@@mortschubert3909, not if you want it to last and be seaworthy.

[@mortschubert3909]

@@Whitehallrow, I paid $200 for an inflatable boat which I have done more than 2,500 kilometres in; most of those, in one go. When I have to spend $7 for patch and glue to fix a leak (I sometimes take the boat on wild rivers; then, there seem to be plenty of shards of glass on the shores and banks), I find that expensive. We live in very different worlds.

[@Bartsnightmare]

Does the hull drain itself? Or will I need a bilge pump?

[@haroldaune9160]

The built in buoyancy means that the hull will drain itself only when the boat is empty. Keep the drain plug in place. You will not need to carry a bilge pump and only need to carry a bailer for possible use in extremely rough conditions.

Ive heard the Spirit is $25 g ?

[@johnbrowning741]

How much does it weigh? ,or is too heavy to advertise.

[@cobblestone88]

specifications listed on the website brochure says the 14’ is 150 pounds and the 17’ is 200 pounds

[@Whitehallrow]

Correct. The tango is 200 lbs which is approximately 90 kg. You can see more boat information under the specifications tab here: www.whitehallrow.com/tango-17-double-slide-seat-sculling-whitehall-rowboat/ The solo is 150 lbs or 58 kg. You can get full spec information here: www.whitehallrow.com/solo-14-slide-seat-sculling-whitehall-rowboat/ With a low-friction plastic skid setup, or a trailer setup, it is relatively easy for one person to haul a tango or a solo out the water on their own.

[@TranslucentStudios]

My fantasy...

[@toruko-ishibravo2zulu679]

Life changing is me using paid piloting instruction and Liquid Force products to give arms a rest. My control pulling cord won't break until more than 2,000 pound of weight is on it. If anchored or run aground I can step out for some pulled body surfing. Also for ride on my purchased Moon Patrol. That can exceed speed of some motor vessels. Stunt training is in hard copy, titled: TRICKTIONARY. Yes, there's a trick to get reader back aboard a floating boat, which I found in KZbin. Yes, I still use oars, in calm air. When no pull is possible. I've done my pull out of Metro Detroit into Ohio and back. Tacking about ocean vessels found in a so-called Detroit River. West Sister Island in Lake Erie is my usual turn around. That is without using a boat. I'm using my Whitehall in the Salish Sea. If reader has a passport and Canada allows you permission to visit I recommend all their Pacific Coast Islands. Friendly people, Canadians. Use big eye bolts aboard the Whitehall that won't be torn off when your waist harness is jerked skyward.

I cant afford, a fancy boat like this, so I'll get a cheap used job boat and row it and add some lights, mirrors, audio system and vhf mobile transceiver.

[@chrismccarthy1455]

Having been involved with a number of boating accidents resulting in death over my career, I'm disturbed by the videos for these products that show users on the water without wearing life jackets. The only lifejacket that is of any use in an emergency is the one that the boater is wearing. A life preserver stowed in the boat is of no use at all. Promoting this kind of reckless boating is negligent and dangerous.

[@ColoradoStreaming]

What is your opinion on the self inflating life vests? They look like a good solution for something like this.

[@fnkdrmr86]

You’re a little dramatic. I don’t wear a helmet when I ride my bike, is that okay?
