The Whitehall Spirit® 14 Sailing model is very fast as it slips lightly across the water. The standing lug rig has the appearance of a classic gaff rigger sailboat but is much simpler and easy to handle. Sailing this boat delights both the experienced sailor and the beginner. Great for learning to sail or introducing the grandkids to one of the most pleasurable activities known. And if the wind drops one can simply lower the sails, put out the oars and row smoothly home easily maintaining 3 to 5 knots. Having the wind drop is something that is now an enjoyable experience as this boat rows extremely well. It is seaworthy and suited for sailing or rowing whether on the ocean, lake, or river.

Under sail it handles crisply due to the large kick-up rudder and efficient rig. The solid bronze pivoting centreboard can be raised up completely into its fibreglass well, reducing the draft to only 6” (16cm). This boat can tuck nicely into quiet, unexplored spots adding another dimension to the adventure of small boat sailing. It is fully beachable to enable going ashore and exploring. It rows like a dream, gliding along in calm water, right at home in wind and waves either with traditional oars or when fitted with slide seat sculling gear.

The mainsail on the standing lug rig can be tacked with full control It can also be reefed or lowered completely while out on the water to enable rowing useful if the wind drops completely meaning you can row home using your traditional oars.

This sailing rowing boat is custom made by our master craftsmen in our shop in Victoria, BC, Canada. It is a sailing boat built to last 100 years or longer, providing rowing pleasure for generations of rowers. Our commitment to highest quality plus superior design makes this the best boat of its type in the marketplace. It is CE certified and both Canadian and US Coast Guard approved. Built-in buoyancy makes it virtually unsinkable. A stainless steel keel strip is included. A factory option of a custom name on the transom is available.

As with all our models, this boat is right at home on the deck of a yacht, at the cabin, parked on a dock, or on a trailer in the garage. If stored outside perhaps on a trailer, and exposed to weather, Lexan battens and a fitted Sunbrella cover are included. For tying to a dock, tie-up lines and fenders are also included.

A Factory Optional Slide Seat Sculling Unit can be mounted in position over top of the centreboard well complete with hinged bronze outriggers for use with 9’6″ open-water sculling oars. Note that it is not practical to use the slide seat sculling gear while in sailing mode. The conversion to slide seat sculling mode takes only minutes. See the Whitehall Spirit® Slide Seat Sculling Model for more details.

This boat is set up for standard 9’6” (288cm) sculling oars. We stock and can supply Club Style carbon fiber sculling oars that can be shipped along with your boat, if your boat includes the optional slide seat.

Spruce/Carbon Traditional Oars with hand sewn leather collars and pressure cast oarlocks are included.
