A. Chinese Boats

Product Description:
Macarbi is proud to be the agent for the top rowing boat manufacturers in China, who are proving to be gaining a reputation for top quality, affordable boats and parts worldwide. The 8+ bought by UJ in 2005 that won its very first boatrace in fine style, is a tribute to this. It is a super-stiff, light, well-built product, which is why we worked tirelessly to secure the rights to this agency. The prices are competitive even with locally built boats, and with our exceptional repair and maintenance section, we offer the best follow-up service 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.
