There’s a reason why coaches have turned to Vespoli for the past three decades for their boats. Since we first built our D-hull boats, we knew we were onto something when crews started turning in winning performances at the World Championships and Olympics.
Through our computational research and on-the-water testing, we can now measure where there is more resistance against the hull and see where and how the resistance changes with each stroke. What makes Vespoli’s VHP series of boats unique is that as the boat goes faster, resistance does not increase as much as it does on competitor’s boats. That translates into a third of a length, or 20 feet over a race course. That’s a difference that speaks volumes, especially in races where hundreds of a second often separate first from third place finishes.
