EVERETT, Wash. – Pocock Racing Shells today announced 2008 pricing for its Hypercarbon™ and Standard Line series racing shells in the eight, straight and coxed four, pair / double and single scull configurations.   
Pocock’s 2008 pricing reflects the first increase in each of its shell configurations in over two years for the 97-year-old U.S racing shell manufacturer – the world’s oldest. 
 
“Over the past few years, we have been impacted by drastic price increases for composite materials, production operational costs and labor,” said Bill Tytus, President of Pocock Racing Shells.  “We have absorbed some of these higher fees for over two years but in order to maintain the quality materials and workmanship synonymous with Pocock Racing Shells, a price increase has become inevitable.  We look forward to continuing to supply universities, schools and clubs with superior shells and top level service at a price that remains competitive in this industry.”
 
Pocock Racing Shells, the longest, continually operating manufacturer of racing shells in the world, offers two lines of boats in eight, straight and coxed four, pair / double and single sculls configurations.  The Hypercarbon™ series is specifically designed for the highest possible performance level, while Pocock’s Standard Line series is a long-lasting boat designed to serve athletes of all levels.
