The C23 row boat follows the tradition of Viking longboats and whaleboats which were especially seaworthy due to their light and sturdy construction. The C23 adds to these characteristics a high degree of rigidity which is achieved by the use of high-tech materials such as carbon, ultra-light foam and an epoxy resin matrix. The form design and high-quality workmanship also contribute to the fact that the boat is stable, dry and very safe, even under difficult conditions.
