One of the things people love most about the Whitehall Spirit® Solo 14® and Tango 17® is how confidence-inspiring they are to row.

Unlike a traditional racing shell, these boats are exceptionally stable, removing the fear of capsizing that can discourage many people from trying slide-seat rowing. They feel intuitive from the very first stroke, and it's not uncommon for complete beginners to be rowing comfortably during their first outing.

Whether you're new to rowing or have decades of experience, the Solo 14® and Tango 17® are designed to help build confidence, and simply enjoy being on the water. Their responsive handling and impressive manoeuvrability make them a pleasure to row, whether you're exploring a quiet lake, navigating a busy marina, or heading off on a longer adventure.

That's why Whitehall Spirit® owners range from first-time rowers to lifelong enthusiasts, these are boats you'll feel comfortable in from day one and continue to enjoy for years to come.

If you store your Whitehall Spirit® rowboat outdoors, the Lexan cover battens are an accessory you'll definitely want to use.

In this video, Whitehall CEO and co-founder Harold Aune demonstrates how quick and easy they are to install. These heavy-duty Lexan battens fit into the batten bases that come standard on every Whitehall Spirit® Solo 14® and Tango 17®, creating a gentle arch beneath the cover that allows rainwater to run off instead of pooling.

Preventing standing water helps reduce strain on your cover, minimizes the build-up of leaves and debris, and provides better protection for your boat while it's stored.

It's another example of the thoughtful design that goes into every Whitehall Spirit® rowboat, small details that make ownership simpler, so you can spend less time maintaining your boat and more time enjoying it on the water.

When most people think of expedition-style adventures, a rowboat probably isn't the first thing that comes to mind. But that's exactly where the Whitehall Spirit® Solo 14® and Tango 17® excel.

With impressive carrying capacity, exceptional seaworthiness, and an incredibly efficient hull, these boats are built to travel. Load them up with camping gear, fishing equipment, or everything you need for a multi-day adventure, then quietly explore coastlines, lakes, and island chains under your own power.

On one of our favourite crew trips, we loaded up a fleet of Whitehall Spirit® Solo 14®s, Tango 17®s, and Oar Boards® and set off to explore the spectacular Broken Islands Group in Barkley Sound. We covered miles of open water, rowing from island to island, and experienced this incredible marine park from a perspective few people ever do.

Designed to securely fasten your Whitehall Spirit® rowboat to a dock, the Gunwale Tie-Down Strap helps keep your boat safely in place. Whitehall CEO and co-founder Harold Aune uses these straps on both his Solo 14® and Tango 17® at his own dock as demonstrated in this video.

Sometimes it's the simple details that make boat ownership easier, allowing you to spend less time worrying about your boat and more time enjoying it on the water. 🚣
