A better way to row your boat:
Odyssey 165™ rowboat with FrontRower™ rowing system
facing forward and with your hands free!
Rowing is inherently more powerful than paddling. But the rear-facing position of conventional rowing makes it impractical for enjoyable touring.
The FrontRower™ rowing system gives you all the power of full-body sliding-seat rowing. And with the forward-facing position of paddling.
And it does something that neither conventional rowing nor paddling does not — it lets you row HANDS FREE.
You can row the FrontRower™ with: (1) your feet only, (2) your hands only, or (3) both together. This gives you lots of variety for getting high quality low impact exercise. Or for spreading out the work over different muscles when traveling longer distances.
Our unique drop-in rig retrofits many existing canoes and touring rowboats. We also offer custom built rowboats, rowboat kits and plans.
