Rowing Shell Construction Materials:

Carbon Fibre
Mission Rowing's primary construction fabric. It is extremely strong in tensile strength and is also very lightweight.

Kevlar
Kevlar is known for its resistance to puncture and abrasion. While not quite the tensile strength of carbon fibre, Kevlar is a tough, strong, lightweight and durable fabric.

S-Glass
Unlike standard fibreglass (E-Glass) this material is very strong and durable. It is an excellent supplement to carbon fibre and Kevlar and shares most of these fabrics strength properties.

Core Materials
Mission Rowing's hulls and components are cored using special lightweight materials. Cores greatly increase rigidity without adding significant weight.

Component Manufacturing:

Side-by-Side Construction
All Mission Racing hulls are built using a method unique to the rowing shell industry. Their hulls are built in left and right halves rather than with a traditional deck and hull. By joining hulls along the centre axis tremendous stiffness can be achieved. The joint itself becomes a super strong stiffening keel. Another benefit is the durability created by placing the strongest part of the hull along the centre of the boat where you are most likely to strike submerged objects. Since a stiff hull transfers energy more efficiently, you optimize your speed to effort ratio.
