The medium hull carries forward the radical structural advancements of the xVIII design with yet another major industry-wide innovation: our G8 (eighth generation) rigger. This is the first ever bow-mounted carbon fiber wing rigger for an eight.

The bow-mounted wing rigger eliminates twisting and bending forces inflicted on the pin. Not only does this setup maximize the transfer of athlete power into boat speed, but also eliminates the need for a bowbrace.

Since the introduction of composites into racing shell design and manufacturing, our goal has been to create racing shells that are not just fast and functional, but also works of industrial art. The most recent iteration of the xVIII is the pinnacle of that endeavor.
