Hudson USP Fleet, Two Pairs and a DOCK!
​
In order to support our athletes with the equipment they need to fulfill their athletic aspirations, we have invested in several world class shells including USP 8+'s and a USP 4x/-, along with 2 Wintech pairs. We have also committed to adding a brand new 50 foot to our main launch area.
Our USP shells are specifically designed for high school girls, from the finest materials available. High-modulus carbon fiber, honeycomb core construction, titanium hardware and a host of innovative features sets these boats in a class of their own. The hull designs are sleek and fast, yet remarkably stable and our athletes instantly realized these boats are special.
​
The "USP" designation of the Hudson marque stands for Ultra Super Predator and represents the very highest level of engineering and boatbuilding in their "Shark Fleet", and arguably in the rowing world.
The pairs that we recently purchased allowed us to expand our small boat fleet offerings - critical for developing and engraining great technique.
A new dock will significantly enhance our launch and landing procedures a factor that is highly anticipated by our athletes.
Every dollar that we raise will go to these projects, and we are so grateful for your support.
​
The wing rigger is the strongest and lightest available. It is a one piece construction unit with no weak seams unlike all other manufacturers. The pin is made of titanium and even the back stay is carbon fiber.
The foot board is entirely carbon and titanium, with incredible degrees of adjustment and clip in shoes. Athletes can set the pitch and height to their exact body length to maximize efficiency of power application.
The seat design is ground breaking and unique to the USP series Hudson. The seat rails are inverted so they cannot accumulate any salt, sand or dirt, providing for a long lasting, butter smooth slide. The bearings are salt resistant.
Boat Naming Opportunity
​Every athlete that raises $1,000 or more will have their name prominently placed in the "Thelma" - currently our first Varsity 8+ shell, as a perpetual reminder of their fundraising efforts. The top 8 fundraisers will be honored with their names placed right at the individual seat stations making them extremely visible every single time the boat is rowed and raced.
Our top 2 fundraisers, will get naming rights to our 2 new Pairs as follows:
The top dollar amount fundraiser will have naming rights to one shell
The athlete who secures the highest number of individual donors will also earn naming rights to the other shell.
