Graeme King is one of the world’s top builders of wooden racing shells. His 22′6″ Kingfisher recreational single shell has proven to be virtually unbeatable when it comes to rowing fast in rough water. And it’s rakish V-bottomed hull sets this striking boat apart from the fleet of round-bottomed competitors.
