Incorporating the most advanced composite techniques available, the all new Hypercarbon Comp V8 pushes racing shell performance to a another level. The Hypercarbon Comp V8 features more carbon fiber in the hull and wing riggers than any other boat on the market – and the more carbon, the stiffer and more responsive the racing shell. The Hypercarbon Comp V8 pairs the V8′s elegant lines with a clear-finished carbon fiber cockpit, resulting in a beautiful boat that will draw attention both on and off the water.

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.
