Endurance is measured in years.
Whether you are splitting the morning mist or crossing the finish line... Down on the water is where you want to be... It’s Personal
Choose Your Boat
I have been building racing shells for 50 years. Getting to know the people who row the boats I build is a very rewarding aspect of this vocation. Seeing my shells perform successfully on the water gives me the greatest sense of well being.... Under the Levator brand I have created choice, which departs from the usual ABC production products offered by the competition. Many influences, past and present builders, designers, artists, factor in creating each of the models. Racing or rowing for life, ultimately it is all about flow – energy given and received.
Advancing technology has brought many innovations and refinements on how boats are made. To coincide, in the last generation rowing has grown from a racer’s only club into a varied panorama of events and activities. The sport now encompasses many forms
of recreation. From time honored competition, to disabled events, to solitary devotees realizing the unique experience of becoming at one with the water striving perfection. For all of us who row it is a passionate experience.... Exceedingly so for the builder!
Following tradition my preference is to work directly with my customers. Your time on the water is precious, so it is important to invest some time choosing the best boat for your rowing perfection. The Personalization process begins with good communication.

New to the sport? Don’t be intimidated by rigging and rowing jargon. I encourage you to study the Basics section. And it’s never too late to start! After the 1st strokes you are on your way. It only gets better!

“10 years ago today I picked up the Racer at the Essex Yacht Club in CT. Hard to believe. Over the years I've collected a few shells, but it remains my favorite and I row it daily. Thanks again for your fine workmanship; I can't think of any other inanimate object which has brought me so much continued pleasure.” —Aloha, Bruce“
