rowing shells
Sleek crew vessels
Rowing shells are the long, narrow boats used in competitive rowing.
Built for speed rather than stability, they sit low in the water with a sleek hull designed to minimize drag.
Shells range from single-person sculls to eight-person racing boats with a coxswain.
The term distinguishes these racing craft from recreational rowboats: The team carried their shell down to the dock.
