Rubenetti Coastal Rowing
Rubenetti Coastal Rowing (Rubenetti boats) is a small Spanish builder of hand-made coastal rowing boats, founded in Alicante and manufacturing since 2015. All hulls are designed, built and finished in-house using vacuum infusion with carbon, glass fibre, vinylester and epoxy resins, with only a few accessories bought in for assembly at the workshop. The range covers single and double coastal rowing shells for FISA-regulation racing and beach sprints, a recreational 4.3 m boat, and an 8.5 m carbon Llaut for club crews. Boats are built to order, customised in RAL colours, and shipped internationally to clubs and private owners.
Rubenetti Coastal Rowing
Rubenetti Coastal Rowing, trading as Rubenetti boats, is a small owner-run workshop in Alicante, Spain that has been hand-building high-quality rowing boats since 2015. The company grew out of the founder's own rowing career and his introduction to coastal rowing at the 2013 World Championship in Helsingborg. Design work — 3D modelling, CFD analysis, full-scale models and final hulls — is carried out in-house in Spain, and every boat is produced by resin infusion to control resin content and achieve light, rigid, durable structures.
