Durability, Stability, and SPEED

VHP8+

Vespoli hulls have always been known for their strength and speed. Advanced composite construction is at the heart of each VHP, and every hull is engineered for stiffness and resilience. We’ve worked with the best material suppliers in the world to create a boat fit for purpose and longevity.

The VHP optimizes hull and wave drag while lifting higher out of the water during the recovery cycle, further reducing contact area in the water. Crews experience faster acceleration during the drive and more run during recovery, and are better able to translate their effort into speed. Using the latest in computational fluid dynamics and data collection techniques, Vespoli’s naval architects analyzed the pitch, speed, and wetted surface of the VHP hulls throughout the entirety of the stroke cycle. The end result: crews enjoy faster acceleration during the drive and more run on recovery.

VHP DNA

Advanced composite construction is at the heart of each VHP, and every hull is engineered for stiffness and resilience. We’ve worked with the best material suppliers in the world to create a boat fit for purpose and longevity. Vespoli hulls have always been known for their strength — now they’re built to last even better.

VHP Carbon Sweep Rigger

An upgrade in performance & looks!

NEW! Available on all VHP Coxed Fours, winter 2019. Twelve percent lighter than the alloy version and stiffer both torsionally and laterally. Low-profile design, titanium mounting sleeves, Mil-A-8625 Type III hard-coat pin block, UV-resistant clear coating.

This rigger pairs with a NEW carbon, reversible backstay. One backstay can adjust to either side of the boat. It is lightweight and has an internal Mil-A-8625 Type III hard-coated screw to adjust length.

 

VHP Carbon Snap-In Fin

New in spring 2019! Turns the boat quickly, reduces drag, and helps keep level during a turn. Tool-free swap; breakaway tab helps prevent hull damage.

Footstretcher

Clearly visible settings for height, angle, and position. Tool-free changes so athletes can match settings across different boats.

Shoes

The VHP variable shoe system has an adjustable heel and crossover straps for fast change-overs.

Vespoli VHP shoes are designed with a wide toe box, snug wraparound tongue, arch-support straps, generous Achilles cut-out, open collar, plenty of drain holes, quick-drying mesh, and ventilated heel cups. Power-wedges on toe and heel aid glute control and boat stability.

Riggers

Lightweight riggers in aircraft-grade aluminum with an aero-foil profile and hard-coat anodized finish. Rowing riggers sweep down and across the hull; sculling riggers offered stern or bow-mounted.

Stainless pins and snap-on washers make height changes easy on the water. New reversible backstays remove the need for port-vs-starboard spares.
