For Sale: "Brothership" Whaleboat 028 Ocean Rowing Boat - $75,000

The vessel is fast and lightweight, built from carbon fiber. It has successfully passed its sea trials and rowed across the Atlantic Ocean with the Van Durme Brothers in the TWAC 2019, winning the race in the Open Class/Double.

This 8.5m light carbon-infused vessel is ideally rowed by a crew of 2 to 4 people. A lot of effort has been put into excellent rowing ergonomics and the practicality of the systems on board. Its unique shape provides stability and protects the crew from water and incoming waves, even in the roughest weather conditions.

Brothership proved its strength by successfully crossing the Atlantic Ocean in 39 days, 21 hours, and 2 minutes without capsizing.

We hope Brothership will have many more adventures. Drawing on our experience as international rowing competitors, co-builders of the boat, and professionals skilled in ergonomics and personal coaching, we look forward to sharing our expertise to help you embark on your next adventure.
