The Bombaloza is extremely

easy to row and very stable,
making it great for beginners
or adaptive rowing. It has
exceptional load carrying
capacity, including a 40 litre
water tight hatch in the
foredeck. The Bombaloza is
about ‘Adventure Rowing’
whether it is pounding over
ocean swells or going on
camping river trips.
Construction:

The boat is constructed from marine grade plywood, 4mm for the hull and 18mm for the
centre deck and ribs. The hull is a hard chine semi-displacement type design ideal for
plywood panel construction. Plywood is a natural material that offers incredible strength and
toughness that stands the test of time. The wood is coated with two layers of epoxy resin and
re-enforced with glass-fibre tape. The Bombaloza is a very simple design and construction
that can easily be built from a kit, using a basic set of hand tools and DIY skills.
Rigging:

The Bombaloza is fitted with

two-stay aluminium riggers
that are bolted directly to the
centre deck. The 18mm
plywood deck and ribs
provides the boat with the core
strength and rigidity to
support the riggers and
distribute the loads applied to
the boat. Clearance above the
water is maximized with the
bent-stay design.

Stretcher:

The Bombaloza has no fixed

rowing shoes. Instead, a glass-
fibre moulded footplate with
heel cups is used. This is ideal
for quick and easy entry or exit
from the boat. The footplate
has been shaped and optimally
positioned to support the feet
for enjoyable confident rowing. Seat:

The seat is moulded from glass-fibre, specifically

designed with extra curvature and width to offer maximum
comfort for enjoyable rowing. All seats are supplied in
Signal Red.
