There are currently a large number of our imported boats spread throughout the clubs in South Africa, this being a result of their affordable prices and their competitive quality. The prices are competitive even with locally built boats, and with our exceptional repair and maintenance workshop which is based at the heart of SA rowing, we offer the best follow-up services in town. Our Chinese range offers different levels of manufactured products, which means that we can offer well-priced boats to every level of rower, rather than offering ridiculously over-priced products.
