Hypercarbon V8
A radical departure from the status quo, the Hypercarbon V8 was a game-changer from the start. It’s a competition-specific boat that debuted as the world’s first wing rigger eight, and today it’s still the best. The V8 was designed from the bottom up with one goal: to revolutionize racing shells, and it did just that. It’s light, stiff, and screams speed. Racers and coaches alike revel in the V8’s elegant lines – it’s a shell that not only goes fast but looks great at the same time.
