On December 2, 2007 a lone Canadian will attempt to row a 24 foot boat across 5,500 stormy kilometres of the Atlantic Ocean from La Gomera in the Canary Islands to Antigua in the Caribbean. The Atlantic Rowing Race has been described as �the toughest endurance race in the world� and Fernie, BC native Paul Attalla will row the first Canadian boat to compete in this epic contest.

Woodvale Solo Class Row Boat

    The Woodvale Solo class rowing boat is an evolution in the concept of ocean rowing boat design. Utalising the ultra-fast Adkin hull profile, the cabin tooling has been developed to give the serious solo rower, the comfort and stowage to complete extended ocean crossings.

    The cabin volumes make the boat agressively self-righting and the lowered aft cabin floor means that there is ample space not to stoop while taking shelter. The boat is designed to have less windage than the original Woodvale pairs boat and the addition of a centre board means that the boat can be rowed into weather.
