New Concepts in Rowing
Forward-Facing Rowing Using Feet, Hands or Both
Ron Rantilla makes the revolutionary new FrontRower™ rowing system for installation in canoes and touring rowboats. Rowing is inherently more powerful and gives better control than paddling. But the rear-facing position of conventional rowing is awkward. The patented Frontrower™ has a forward facing position and can be operated by hands, feet or both. Easier to use and more efficient than rear-facing sliding-seat rigs. It is an excellent choice for exercise rowing, wildlife photography, or long distance touring.
We also custom build wooden rowing boats designed specifically for the FrontRower™.
And we offer plans and kits for building your own rowboat.
