The McNamara’s Band, a Kaschper 4+ (‘95 4+ LW) for sale for $500.00. This boat comfortably fits midweight crews and has raced at the CURA and CSSRA levels in past years. The integrity of the hull is in good condition. It has been well used and cared for, but it has been several years since it has seen the water. After it retired from the current racing fleet, it was kept indoors during the spring, summer, and fall seasons. Several minor repairs have been done, but all were resolved with no ongoing issues. We have many spare parts for this generation of Kaschper and can also supply spares to supplement the sale. The steering is intact, and there are the appropriate mounts for a new sound system, but the original sound system is no longer functional. Available for pickup at the Royal Canadian Henley, Head of the Trent or other arrangement.

All original riggers are on the boat with no significant damage. Many of the original parts are no longer on the shell, but all have been replaced within the last five years.

LiteRace 1x Coastal Rowing Solo. Great for a club or for the cottage! $8,000.
This boat isn’t just a good for coastal rowing, it’s a great way to row in flat conditions too if you are looking for more stability and maneuverability. For the experienced rower, you can now tackle the waves when you’d otherwise be on the erg. For the novice rower, you can now feel the independence of rowing a single and mastering technique without the instability of a classic flatwater shell. The rigger has quick release pins allowing for speedy rigging and de-rigging at the club or for day trip rows. Coastal rowing will make its Olympic debut in 2028 and this fun and exciting version of our sport will undoubtedly grow in the coming years. Get ahead of the curve and start your next season in a coastal boat!
