235 Summer Road, Bldg. #4, Boxborough, MA 01719 | 978.263.9010 | fax 978.263.5940 www.rowalden.com Combining a classic Whitehall with the efficiency and power of sliding seat sculling makes for a fast & seaworthy boat that’s quiet in the water & a pleasure to row. Light in the hands, our Whitehall has graceful lines and a very pretty wine glass stern. At 16’, she is designed to glide over the waves for a dry ride. Originally used as livery boats, Whitehalls become more stable, as their loads increase, and this boat is no exception. Our newest Alden features the Gullwing Folding Rigger System. Stiff & reliable, the rigger quietly folds in & out -- nesting below the mahogany gunwales and accommodating higher docks than allowed by our other Aldens. Additionally, the Gullwing frame stiffens up the boat by acting as a reinforcing thwart. The folding outriggers also allow this Whitehall to be safely towed as a tender or moored. The Gullwing is the culmination of Gary Piantedosi’s more than thirty years experience designing, manufacturing and open water racing. Built with anodized aluminum, stainless steel fasteners and ball bearing wheels, the Gullwing uses the same reliable and legendary monorail system we’ve been building since 1983. Paired with the Gullwing, the Whitehall makes sliding seat rowing a truly elegant exercise experience and something easily enjoyed with a non-rowing passenger.
