“This is the rowing craft often called the most beautiful rowing
boat in the world, and it performs as nicely as it looks.”
Easy to maintain, the
fiberglass hull is trimmed in
teak with copper rivets in the gunnels. The
wood has been hand rubbed with
Teak Guard to restored perfection.
The “Glory,” can easily be rowed by one, but two full size rowing stations enable tandem rowing for extra fun and speed.
The most distinctive feature of a Whitehall is its “wineglass” shaped stern. This Whitehall displays the elegance of its heritage, and was built to last and provide enjoyment for generations.
The
classic full length
keel keeps this beautiful
boat tracking straight while under way – a very useful feature for distance rowing. The Whitehall 14 easily carries four adults and rows extremely well in rough seas.
The
hull shape has been perfected for maximum speed and minimum effort in all sea conditions. “Lapstrake” style makes the shapely hull stand out to be admired, and adds to the strength and rigidity.
The Whitehall represents an example of the “golden age” of
marine design and craftsmanship of the early 1820’s.
Today’s growing interest in
marine heritage and the proven
health and recreational benefits of rowing is causing a rebirth of these traditional craft, which are a fusion of the fine design and workmanship of the past with the best of modern materials that offer the ease of
maintenance and durability not available in early times.
The boat was built in 1986 by Strawberry Marine in Sausalito,
California.
Glory was totally restored from stem to stern in the summer of 2015.
Glory comes with a full all-weather cover, one-piece wooden floor board, one fixed and one movable seat, and one set of Caviness 7’ oars, with removable
bronze oar locks.
There is a spare quart of
interior paint, ample quantity of Teak Guard for the future, and the specifications for the
Interlux Paint primer and top coat.
Approximate specifications: Length 14’, Beam 49”,
Depth 23” Estimated weight 200 pounds.
