Hochsee-Ruderboot C23
Seit 2005 entwickelt Whaleboat Ruderboote. Die ersten Boote waren offene Ruderboote, ohne Kabinen.
Mit diesen Booten sind wir tausende Kilometer bei unterschiedlichsten Konditionen – geographisch und meteorologisch – gerudert. Dabei haben immer weiter wertvolle Erkenntnisse für die perfekte Beschaffenheit unserer Boote gesammelt. Das preisgekrönte C23 ist das Resultat all unserer Erkenntnisse und das aktuell vielseitigste Ruderboot der Welt.
Unsere Kunden sind mit dem C23 von der Nordsee bis zum Bandasee im pazifischen Ozean gerudert. Dabei haben Sie die Wellen berühmter Suft-Destinationen gesurft und an den entferntesten Stränden der Welt kampiert.
Mit dem C23 erleben Sie Abenteuer pur.

How long? It`s been almost 3 years since the MV Savvy Joan ended up in my care. In the first year, I spent a lot of time figuring out how to manage the boat out of the water on boat supports. In the second year, I discovered that the boat was in need of repairs, particularly because the berth in the bow had Aspergillus mold. The fiberglass hull is still in good shape though. The berth had to be ripped out and rebuilt. That`s what I did this past year. I didn`t know if I could do it. Especially because, the boat was not in a place where I lived and I have had to travel to and from it. I didn`t have any help. The boat was vandalized several times as well. Things got even more challenging this past summer, when the hiway into Port Alberni, BC was closed so much after the #cameronlakefire. But now, the boat is at the point of know return! It is said that boats are a " symbol of journey" and "a voyage of life". The challenge that I faced working on this vessel has given me strength and courage to overcome limitations in my life. For this, I am grateful. #boatrepair #pointofknowreturn

Tom, Koen`s rock-climbing buddy in the late eighties, and since long living in France running an outdoor activities business, is always in for an adventure. A new adventure started with a question about a year ago "You think Sophie and I can row around Corsica in a C23 by the end of this summer? And we`ll bring the dog too!" Yes, that`s possible! If you both start learning how to row straight away! #whaleboatC23 #rowtripping #adventure #rowing #island #corsica #keeplearning #challenge #med #dogaboard #circumnavigate #safetyfirst
By the end of the summer they pushed off from a Corsican beach and started their adventure.
Tom, being a professional mountain guide, understands the importance of communication and back-up, so he asked his mom Lien, an avid, life-long sailor herself, to function as safety officer, following along on land by car.
Rowing around any island, big or small, is a serious business, demanding a profound knowledge of the local currents, rock formations, hazardous winds and specific, unusual weather patterns. Painfully demonstrated by the hurricane that hit Corsica only days before they set off!
Prepared for the worse, they loved every bit of the adventure, and so did mom and the dog!
Gold! Whaleboat O28 ocean rowing boat won gold at the Henry van de Velde Design Awards earlier this week. The jury was especially impressed by the `craft pushed to its limits`, and as innovation is one of the main criteria we`re even more proud to see our efforts rewarded. Our thanks to the jury, @flandersdcfordesign and all partners for the organisation! Visit the exposition at Bozar until 2 April.

Watertight compartments are an essential part of our ocean rowing boats. It`s easy to say `watertight` but how is this tested? Filling each compartment with water would be one way, but the faster and more precise - although possibly very confronting! - solution is to check for airflow. Air can be sucked out of the compartment using a vacuum pump or air can be pumped into each compartment. The result is the same: at least 2 ton/square meter of pressure is applied to the structure, and will hold if there are no leaks. Test succeeded. #oceanrowingboat #whaleboat028 #oceanrowing #test #underpressure #airpressure #noleaks #boatbuilding #safety
Heavy machinery, light boat. Thanks @harbourtownemarinafl for putting our newest #whaleboatO28 in the water. @neilblackeby @jakup.jacobsen.3 #florida #daniabeach #sunshinestate #gulfstream #oceanrowing #oceanrowingboat #faroeislands #forklift #usa #everythingisbiggerinamerica
In the picture: the Whaleboat C23 adventure rowboat and O28 ocean rowboat, a perfect pair. www.whaleboat.be/C23
While preparing for your ocean adventure, the C23 is a great choice for training and getting your sea legs It’s a fully seaworthy boat, easily transportable, less dependent on wind directions than an ocean rowing boat and can take 1 to 4 crew, lots of gear and a serious beating. And when you get back home after your ocean crossing and long for the freedom on the water, the C23 is again at hand to take the family (and dog!) camping along the coast of your choice.
Get in touch for our combination plans for the C23 and O28 and we also have rental options available for both.

Workshop update: The Whaleboat O28 contains 120 meter of fillets and carbon tape. #quality #hardwork #nocuttingcorners #oceanrowingboat #boatbuildingisanart #whaleboatO28 #boatbuilding #vacuuminfusing #carbonfibre #carbonfiber #oceanrowing #safety #innovation #engineering
The various steps of building a safe ocean rowing boat are intensely laborious, but the only way to create absolutely watertight compartments that guarantee your boat stays afloat in case of puncture.
Precision fit carbon frames (cut with a water jet) are glued in the vacuum infused hull.
All intersections between these frames, the hull and the keelsons (the parts running the length of the boat) have to be sealed to create the watertight compartments. This is called the `taping` process, often neglected because of the labour intensive process and cost implications. It involves first creating a `fillet` - a smoother transition of the 90° angle - these are the white lines in the photos. After the fillets, a strip of carbon with epoxy resin is applied. You can see this carbon on the first frame in the first photo.
