Whitehall Spirit® Tango 17® Double Slide Seat Sculling Rowboat
The Whitehall Spirit® Tango 17® changes your life for the better, providing fitness, health, and positive energy. Being out on the water, in nature, breathing fresh clean air is good for the lungs, body and soul. Knowing this seaworthy boat handles wind and waves safely, brings confidence and a feeling of well-being while rowing.
The Tango 17® is built with modern, ultra-tough, light weight copolymer. It never needs painting or even waxing. Simply wipe the boat down with a wet cloth to keep it shiny and clean.
- A rugged all-water fitness rowing machine for all rowers including beginners, recreational, or hard-core professionals.
- The Tango 17®rows like a dream in flat water and handles wind and waves with ease.
- It uses up to 90% of your muscles with no stress on the knees while burning up to twice the calories as jogging or kayaking. Perfect for cardio or weight control and recommended by doctors and fitness trainers.
- It can be rowed as a single, by yourself, or as a double, with a partner.
- It’s a stable platform for fishing or crabbing, or for taking kids and dogs along. Safe even while rowing in wind and waves.
- Double hull construction makes the Tango 17® totally buoyant and virtually unsinkable.
- It carries US and Canadian Coast Guard approval and is CE certified.
- Great for entering open water rowing and events. The Tango 17® won leg 1 of the Race To Alaska (R2AK) three times.
- Take your Tango 17® camping or on expeditions; it’s faster, more comfortable and holds more gear than a kayak.
- Getting out rowing the Tango 17® calms your mind and refreshes your soul.
Any standard sculling oars will work however we recommend Carbon Fiber Sculling Oars, that we can supply, shipped with the boat. If tying up to a dock is intended, consider adding a set of tie-up lines and fenders to your order.
The Whitehall Spirit® Tango 17® is right at home at the cottage, on a trailer in the garage, or parked on a dock or on the deck of a yacht. If stored outside, exposed to weather, on a dock bunk, a boat dolly, or small boat trailer, Lexan cover battens and a fitted waterproof Sunbrella cover are recommended.

Base Price $14,395.00 USD
The exterior and interior have an acrylic coating called Solarkote® bonded to the surface that is UV-proof. That means the boat retains a glossy yacht-like finish and stays shiny and looking good for years. An ‘interdeck’ bonded between the hull and deck further stiffens the boat and reinforces the cockpit deck, track tower bases, and footstop mounts, which are subject to the major forces of the rowing process. The double hull construction makes the Tango 17® virtually unsinkable just like the Solo 14® model.
The metals and copolymer plastic used in construction of the Tango 17® are 100% recyclable. See more details on the features page.

Features
The Tango 17® comes equipped with all of the features shown below as standard and included. The only factory options to consider are the stainless steel keelstrip, motor pads and a custom boat name. These can be seen under “Factory Options” in the Accessories section of the website.
Sliding Seat
This slide seat design has been used for over a century. Seat holes and cutaway fit the coccyx and sit bones. Anodized tracks allow smooth sliding.
Footstops
Adjustable foot stretcher fits any leg length. Velcro straps enable regular footwear to be worn by the rower. Heel cups adjust up or down for varying shoe sizes.
Outriggers
These cast aluminum outriggers create the correct span for 9’6” carbon fiber sculling oars. The rower can remain seated when the outrigger is hinged inboard.
Outriggers Inboard
Outriggers hinge inboard when coming alongside a dock or boat. By being closer to the dock, the boat is more stable, safer and easier to get into or out of.
Fixed Seat
The sliding seat removes easily and the fixed seat snaps into place. The fixed seat stows between the track risers, flush to the floor for convenient storage.
Traditional Oar Socket
Oarlock sockets cast into the outrigger bases allow traditional “oars on the gunnel” style rowing using either or both of the fixed seats.
Non-Skid
Top quality nonskid located on the cockpit floor prevents slipping and makes it safer and easier to move around. Dog-friendly.
Drain plug
Pulling the plug when storing the boat out of the water keeps the hull from collecting rain water and makes draining easier when hosing the boat down.
Mushroom Cleat
Cleats are used for hanging fenders or spring lines when tying to a dock. The mushroom shape has no sharp corners to help prevent snagging on clothing.
Batten Ends
The batten ends come installed ready for battens. Battens enable a boat cover to shed rain water. See the accessories page for ordering a set of custom Lexan battens.
Sturdy Bow/Stern eyes
A recessed bow eye protects other boats from damage and takes the worry out of coming alongside. They are strong enough to lift or tow the boat.
Tie-Downs
Conveniently secure your cushions or gear using these durable plastic tie downs, suitable for webbing strap.
