A leading edge high performance shell with a wave piercing bow, the ACE is designed to win races in the 24' class in all conditions, particularly rough water. The menacing lines of the ACE bring cutting edge design to open ocean rowing.
The hull and deck cross sections of the long low bow are shaped to move up and down through the water with little resistance, allowing the ACE to pick up energy from following seas and wakes without planing under. Oarsman can now keep pressure on in following seas to accelerate.
With two shallow foot wells there is no cockpit or washbox to trap water. The ACE sheds waves like a duck. Reentry is a snap !
