RESOLUTE LightWeight Single (LW1X) and Gear that we are planning to get for Roni

 

To keep our single out ahead of the crowd, we took the best of the original Resolute 1x design and improved everything from balance and ergonomics to materials and manufacturing. The result: A faster and more durable boat. Available in heavyweight and lightweight models, every Z1x is delivered fully fitted with seat, stretcher and rigger. Custom painting, rigging, and accessories are also available.

Concept-2 Skinny Shaft Medium stiffness Sculls

  

The Skinny Shaft

The Skinny shaft debuted at its first Olympics in the 2012 London Olympics. 19% of all medalists were rowing with the Skinny shaft.

The Skinny shaft was created in response to women's crews who desired the efficiency of the Fat2 blade but felt our standard shaft with the Fat2 blade was too stiff for their style of rowing. Stiffness is generally felt in the combination of shaft flex and blade slip. More efficient blades, like the Fat2, slip less so the athlete has the sensation that the oar is stiffer.

To create an extra soft shaft, we tried a smaller diameter, which allowed us to achieve the decreased stiffness while maintaining durability. The skinnier shaft also offers reduced wind resistance. Preliminary testing demonstrates measurable savings, particularly in headwind conditions. While the Skinny was originally designed to be extra soft, it’s also available in our standard stiffness option for people who want to take advantage of the reduced wind resistance it provides. Additionally, the smaller shaft offers more opportunities for outer grips, because both our sweep and scull grip cores will fit on this shaft.
