MAAS Aero

ROWEST thinks that this is the best all round shell on the planet.  Stable enough for novice, but lively enough to enjoy as a lifetime boat.  This Aero design has proven itself racing & touring on waters from Hawaii & New Zealand to Maine.  At rowing clubs and schools the Aero is commonly in heavy demand while other more expensive and less forgiving (& less durable) shells stay on the racks.  An honest fully rigged weight of 39 lbs. makes handling & transporting easy, at 21'3" long car topping is less tricky than longer shells.

Aesthetically, the design is clean & uncluttered and is enhanced by the well crafted carbon fiber composite riggers.  The Aero offers the quick responsive feel of other Maas boats of higher performance standards, yet the Aero is more comfortable when the water is rough.  In the words of the Olympic Rowing medallist Dick Lyon, "They are just plain fun to row."

ROWEST adds that this boat is so capable and enjoyable.  You can photograph from it, watch birds from it, pack it for overnight touring, use it anyway you want and use it hard, use it frequently, use it & enjoy it for years and probably a lifetime with nominal care...more time on the water.
