The Wherry offers thoroughbred performance on the water
combined with breathtaking grace. The Wherry has been turning heads since 1997,
with hundreds and hundreds built all over the world.
Solid stability, sea kindly lines, excellent tracking, a buoyant bow, and ample
flare make the Wherry a natural choice for rowing in choppy conditions. The
open design allows for plenty of sprawling and a picnic basket when beach
cruising. Stability is strong for a performance rowing boat: you can step
into the boat from a dock and even stand up. However, the narrow waterline
means that the Annapolis Wherry is as fast as many “rec” shells, sprinting at 7
knots and cruising at 4-5 knots. At this speed you could cover 30 or 40 miles
in a day. We hear of Wherries being used for camping and fishing expeditions.
The Wherry is at its best with a sliding
seat. From the beginning the interior was designed around a Piantedosi Row
Wing, the nicest sliding seat unit on the market. Used with a sliding seat, the
Wherry might be unsurpassed as a rowing trainer, exercise boat, long-distance
cruiser, or even for open water racing. Price:$2800 (doesn't include the Piantedosi Row system)
