Cambridge Over the past 15 years, Little River has been the leader in advancements in hull design for recreational shells. The latest in performance design theory can be seen in the Cambridge, where we've incorporated a flared "U" shaped beam - the result is two-fold. When the water is smooth, there is a small, more optimum waterline for greater speed.
But when the water gets choppy, the beam increases, which creates a more stable craft and a more comfortable row. We call it "reserve stability" - it's there when you need it, it's not when you don't. Add to this the rocker keel (minimum drag at optimum hull speed) and high performance integral rigging as found on our more advanced shells (PRO AM and OLYMPUS), and you get the best of both worlds the stability and comfort of an entry level, "open water" craft, with the performance and features of our top of the line rec-racers.

Hot off the press, the Cambridge is our newest design in modern rowing technology, It was conceived, designed, and built as a direct result of what today's educated rower wants out of "recreational" rowing. It needs to be: Light enough for one person to carry or cartop by themselves (men and women), yet rugged enough to still be considered "recreational". Stable enough to handle those rough water days, yet it will get up and go when the water's like glass. A "user friendly" shell to accommodate your learning curves, yet can be fine tuned as your skills improve. Since the introduction of the Cambridge it has fast become one of the most sought after rowing shells offered today.

There are more unique features that make the Cambridge so special, such as:

• Quick release wing rigger for easy car-topping, storage also lighter and stiffer.
  
• A full reverse "U" flanged splash guard that wraps around the entire cockpit ensuring a dryer row in choppier waters.
  
• An enclosed cockpit which is self-bailing by design - you can't sink or swamp this shell!
  
• A tracking fin, two drain plugs (each end), and a porthole.
  
• Complete carbon-fiber hull and deck.

Probably the most important feature is its ability to adapt to you and your surroundings with incredible results - it's a forgiving craft while learning, a safe and comfortable craft when needed, and a rewarding craft when challenged, If you want to get hooked on the sport of rowing, you're goning to fall in love with the Cambridge!
