Resolute Racing Shells

RESOLUTE Racing Shells The Bristol, Rhode Island-based company started when its founders combined their knowledge of America’s Cup racing hulls, hydrodynamics and pre-preg carbon fiber to completely reshape the exterior of the hull. The new design dramatically increased stiffness and decreased drag-inducing wetted surface without sacrificing the balance essential for reliable rowability. This discovery was engineered into a monocoque hull that eliminated the need for secondary bonded parts. This modification further increased the hull’s durability and rigidity. This new “Z” hull instantly advanced Resolute™ Racing Shells to the sport’s cutting edge, where it began a complete revolution in shell technology and transformed the sport of rowing. Remarkably, the very first boat built by Resolute™ Racing Shells won the prestigious Head of the Charles Regatta in its first outing and is still being raced and winning medals.
