Vespoli Matrix pairs and doubles are both beautiful to look at and a delight to row. Contemplate the art and technology that has been joined in this world class racing shell.

Row a Matrix and feel the silky smooth comfort of a properly fitting boat and the responsiveness that comes from a blend of a state-of-the-art hull design with superior construction.

You will feel the speed as you transmit your power directly through your Matrix. Check out your puddles and see them run out further than ever before. When your workout is done and you are wiping down your Matrix, take a moment to admire its graceful, flowing lines, the luster of its flawless finish and the quality of each fitting. And you can be worry free since you know, with absolute confidence, that your boat is backed by the most comprehensive warranty in the industry and legendary Team Vespoli service.

We believe that owning a boat should be a joy and not a hassle. You will never have to worry about service issues or routine maintenance because, as a Matrix owner, you are eligible for our exclusive Platinum Care Program. This popular program includes arranging the pick up of your boat at the end of season, returning it to our factory in New Haven, Ct where it will be worked on by the same talented, factory trained craftspeople who built it, using original OEM parts and materials. Your Matrix will be thoroughly inspected, touched up, adjusted, cleaned, buffed and then returned to you looking and rowing like new; and in time for the spring season! Additionally, for each year you take advantage of the PCP program, we add another year to your warranty!

Still need convincing? Why not try one? Contact your Team Vespoli Regional Rep and he/she will gladly arrange a demo row.

Matrix

Matrix Your Matrix pair/double will be sized to fit, built to perform and designed to last! You may choose from one of three "size specific" hull shapes. Each is designed to minimize frictional drag while maintaining as superior level of stability.

Every Matrix pair/double is made of multiple layers of unidirectional carbon fiber with a honeycomb core and then heat cured at 250 degrees F for maximum stiffness and durability.

Each boat is handcrafted to your exact specifications by our skilled boat builders in New Haven, Connecticut.

Performer

The Performer is the "work horse" for many programs because of its incredible durability, moderate weight and great pricing. The Performer is constructed of multiple layers of high impact fiberglass with honeycomb gunwales, carbon flange, carbon channel ribs, and is cured at 250 degrees. This "single skin" construction deflects upon impact drastically reducing damage.

How a rower interfaces with a shell is absolutely critical to achieving optimal performance. A rower’s points of power transmission are feet, seat and oarlock. These “transmitters” must be ergonomic, efficient, adjustable, durable, stiff and light.

At Vespoli we know that fittings are an integral part of the shell and play a significant role in a crew’s success. We, therefore, engineer and manufacture our own fittings guaranteeing parts and accessories that fit perfectly into our hulls. Our experience as rowers and coaches in consultation with industry experts has allowed us to engineer and produce the best racing shell fittings available.

From the moment you put your feet into our patented design VHP shoes and sit on the ergonomically designed carbon seat you know that it just “feels right.” Your shoes have the right fit, flex and stiffness to connect you to the shell. The seat rolls smoothly, silently and with minimal friction. The light and durable Vespoli riggers adjust quickly and easily to your body type. And when you take the catch you feel the direct and immediate transmission of power into boat speed.

You must have confidence in the performance of these fittings, stroke after stroke, year after year. Every part of a Vespoli racing shell is covered by our 5-year Bow to Stern Warranty. Plus, our service team attends hundreds of regattas every year.

When you do need replacement parts for any Vespoli boat, regardless of age, you can obtain them through our Customer Service department, our on-line store and at major regattas The fittings you need will ship quickly (95% same day ship rate).
