The WinTech Explorer 24 has a longer and narrower hull than the Explorer 21. The Explorer 24 is designed for speed. Higher bow and stern decks and the revolutionary WinTech Self-Bailing cockpit allow this boat to handle the rougher conditions of open water rowing. Angled saxboards give more lateral stability to help keep the boat set. An excellent choice for the rower who needs a bit of stability yet wants the performance of a racing single.
If you like the Explorer 24 check out the WinTech Explorer 21 and the WinTech Explorer Double.

MODEL A – Full Core Hull – Sandwich construction boats are lighter and stiffer than their single-skin counterparts due to a honeycomb core, making them more suited to high performance use. Although still pretty resilient, a very stiff hull of this type of construction is a little more susceptible to damage from bangs and knocks.
MODEL B – Single Skin Hull – Single-skin construction boats tend to be hard-wearing with a little ‘give’ in the hull which helps absorb the odd knock in the boathouse or while being transported. They are a little heavier, but are ideal for novice crews and general club use where the boats are likely to take some general punishment, but still perform when needed.
