The Craftsbury Green Racing Project is a year-round, multisport team based out of the Craftsbury Outdoor Center (COC) in Craftsbury, Vermont. In the sport of rowing, the team supports a year-round senior squad as well as seasonal U23 programs. Both of these programs strive to place athletes at the highest levels in the sport, while developing them as members of a sustainable community as well as active individuals that support the mission of the COC.
Currently, coaches Steve Whelpley and Troy Howell oversee a group of 20 male and female athletes, who live and train at the Craftsbury Outdoor Center in Craftsbury, VT. Both Whelpley and Howell work to empower these individuals to be the best versions of themselves, on and off the water. To date, these efforts have placed athletes on the Senior Worlds' teams, Pan American Games teams, Senior Training Centers, and U23 Worlds' teams.
"For us, HUDSON reflects many of our values. We're looking to build unique, creative athletes that still rise to the international standard in their own way" Coach Steve Whelpley states. "HUDSON is at a point now where they are innovating for our sport at the same time as they produce a high-quality product on a day-to-day basis. I look at their USP rigger and finally see a rigger that rivals the integrated use of carbon fiber in many other sports like cycling and sailing."
"No matter what anyone says, at the end of the day it's all about the athlete," Atlantic Sales Manager Matt Muffelman says. "We are beyond excited to support the Green Racing Project and the overall development of current and future athletes that look to further their competitive careers at Craftsbury."
