ADAPTIVE EQUIPMENT

View Explorer 21 and 30 for Adaptive Rowing

WinTech is committed to the development of adaptive rowing and equipment worldwide. Our line of adaptive rowing shells, the Explorer 21 single and 30 double, pontoons, fixed seats and other accessories was developed in response to research and testing with members of the adaptive rowing community.

WinTech’s director of research and development, chief engineer, and renowned designer Klaus Filter spent many months perfecting designs that meet the needs of adaptive rowers. As the sport evolves you can be assured WinTech will continue to incorporate the latest innovations in adaptive rowing.

WinTech is an official supplier of adaptive boats for FISA sanctioned rowing events and the WinTech Explorer 21 and 30 will be the boats used by adaptive athletes during the 2008 Paralympics, Beijing, China.
