Forget raising a sweat in Grandpa's clunky old rowboat. Now there's a better way to get fit, enjoy the water and feel free in a revolutionary new Whitehall Spirit® rowing boat. The new stable, sleek Whitehall Spirit® Solo 14™ and the Tango 17™ boats offer a whole new way to row. They are state-of-the-art slide seat equipped rowing machines in a compact, beautiful package and are also the world's first thermoformed rowing boats.

Pushing hard with both legs you feel the power of your largest muscles transmit into your arms and out through a pair of long, light carbon fiber sculling oars. The boat surges ahead with each stroke and you feel as though you are a huge bird flying low across the water.

It's the new "Mountain Bike of the Sea" built in Canada by Whitehall Rowing & Sail. Until now the choices involved rowing either a fast but tippy racing shell that unfortunately needs flat calm water and a lot of skill, or a heavy old dory like the cod fisherman used to row, seaworthy but hard on the back and slow as molasses.

The Whitehall Spirit® line of thermoformed co-polymer rowing boats are different. They are beautiful, light, strong, virtually unsinkable and maintenance free. These boats redefine recreational rowing. They love waves and rougher water but are excellent in calm water as well.

The classic Whitehall goes back hundreds of years and has always been known as the finest of rowing boats. The Whitehall Spirit® Solo 14™ and the new Tango 17™ feature the latest sliding seat technology that incorporates leg power into the oar stroke. This means lots of power, easy handling, and one of the best fitness workouts you can get.

In fact slide seat rowing uses up to double the calorie burn of jogging with no stress on the joints or ligaments. Melt off those pounds while building up your heart. Read about the fitness benefits at RowForHealth Home Page (http://www. RowForHealth. com)

The Solo 14™ is a single position slide seat boat while the Tango 17™ allows one or two people to slide seat row together at the same time, perfect for couples or friends. Both boats can easily carry extra passengers when needed.

They can both be seen online at Whitehall Spirit® Recreational Rowing Boats Home Page (http://www. whitehallspirit. com) or visit the 2010 Seattle Boat Show January 29th to February 6th at Booth #9 in the West Hall. Come and see Whitehall Rowing & Sail's line of Whitehall Spirit® boats.
