Pocock Racing Shells is unveiling a host of new boats in 2006.
In early spring, Pocock is launching the new mid-size Hypercarbon™ V8 (shown at right). Coaches can now choose from three different Hypercarbon V8 hull sizes: small, medium and large.
According to Pocock, the Hypercarbon V8s are designed specifically for the highest level of performance and feature an advanced design and laminate system that offers the lightest, stiffest and best value available. Every boat comes with ultra stiff carbon fiber wing riggers, which transmit athletes' energy directly to the boat speed.
"Each new boat we make is the accumulation of everything we have learned from the previous shells," said Bill Tytus, Pocock president. "You can see a real evolutionary curve in our line of boats."
This summer, Pocock will begin launching a completely redesigned line of small boats, starting with a new single. New doubles and pairs will follow soon after.
"Our new line of small boats will have a dramatically different look," said Tytus. "The smaller boats are a great place to experiment with leading edge boat design and we're going to really push the engineering envelope."
