Longer Hull. Two Rowers. Serious Range.
The Heritage 18 Classic Double is built for partners who want to row efficiently, carry more, and handle real-world conditions with confidence. With its extended waterline and generous beam, the 18 delivers smooth glide, strong tracking, and a remarkably steady platform for two rowers.
This is a shared fitness and adventure boat, not a fragile racing double.
Performance with Stability
The longer hull improves efficiency and distance capability, especially with two rowers aboard. At the same time, the wide, buoyant design provides the confidence that defines the Heritage line.
-
Stable entry and launching
-
Predictable feel in chop and boat wakes
-
Deep-tracking hull for directional control
-
Less sensitivity to small balance errors than racing shells
You get real cruising speed without constant balance stress.
Designed for Two, Flexible for More
The double configuration includes two sliding-seat rowing stations for efficient, synchronized rowing. The spacious interior and molded seating areas also make the boat practical for relaxed outings, carrying gear, or mixed-use trips.
This is a platform for shared workouts, long rows, and recreational use in one hull.
Practical Rowing System
The drop-in row station keeps setup straightforward and allows the interior to remain open and usable when the rowing gear is removed. Black or white rails are available to suit your preference.
Built for Long-Term Use
Hand-laid fiberglass construction, a molded interior structure, and durable hardware create a stiff, low-maintenance boat designed for frequent launching, transport, and years of service.
This is a working boat meant to be used regularly.
A True Multi-Use Craft
The Heritage 18 Classic Double is ideal for:
-
Partner fitness rowing
-
Long-distance outings
-
Family or gear-carrying trips
-
Lakes, rivers, and protected coastal waters
It combines range, capacity, and stability in a way smaller or narrower boats cannot.
Ready to Row
Oars are included, so the boat arrives water-ready. Flat-rate shipping by zone is available across the continental U.S., providing straightforward, predictable delivery.
