A message from Harold Aune, CEO & Co-Founder of Whitehall Rowing & Sail…

The new 50% tariffs do NOT apply to Whitehall Spirit® boats.

That means we’re continuing to deliver our boats directly to your curbside across Canada and TARIFF FREE throughout mainland United States.

🚚 Our next North America-wide delivery trip leaves in just 10 days, and we still have a few spaces available and we’re extending our Summer Delivery Special for boats joining this trip.

Whether you’d like to secure one of our remaining 2026 delivery spaces or reserve your Whitehall Spirit® boat now for spring 2027, our team would be happy to help you choose the right model and delivery option.

There’s a reason the Solo 14® is our best-selling rowboat. 🚣

The sliding seat gives you a smooth, full-body low-impact workout, while the stable hull makes it approachable and confidence-inspiring, whether you’ve been rowing for decades or are completely new to the sport.

Owners use their Solo 14® for everything from peaceful morning rows, exploring local waterways to regular fitness sessions, with many telling us it’s become one of the best parts of their daily routine.

The Whitehall Spirit® Solo 14® is simple to own, beautiful to row and built to keep you moving for years to come.

🇨🇦🇺🇸 Good news! Whitehall Spirit® boats continue to qualify under the CUSMA trade agreement and are NOT subject to the recently imposed 50% tariffs on aluminum and steel imports.

That means we’re continuing to deliver our boats directly to your curbside across Canada and tariff-free throughout the mainland United States.

Our company driver, Colin, will be back on the road this month, delivering through Eastern Canada and the Northeastern U.S. before heading south to Florida.

We’re also planning one final North America-wide delivery trip in October, with limited spaces remaining on both trips.

If you’ve been considering a Whitehall Spirit®, ordering now also allows you to lock in current summer delivery rates and save up to 20% compared with anticipated 2027 pricing. With the cost of resin and other materials continuing to rise, we expect these increases to be reflected in our 2027 prices.

Whether you’d like to secure one of our remaining 2026 delivery spaces or reserve your boat now for spring 2027, our team would be happy to help you find the right model.

One of the questions we’re asked most often about the Whitehall Spirit® Tango 17: Can you row it as a single?

Absolutely. 🚣

Designed for both single and double slide-seat rowing, the Tango 17® gives you the flexibility to head out on your own or row with a partner.

Here, Whitehall CEO and Co-founder Harold Aune demonstrates how to set up and row the Tango 17® as a single, while sharing a few tips for getting the best experience on the water.

"I let my Solo 14 go and realized it was a mistake... so I bought another one."

We can't think of a better endorsement of the Whitehall Spirit® Solo 14.

After deciding to part with his Solo 14®, one owner quickly realized just how much he missed it. It wasn't long before another Whitehall Solo 14® was on its way.

Colin delivered the new boat to Temecula, California after delivering a Tango 17® to Big Bear, and by the weekend it was already on the water at beautiful Lake Skinner, right where it belongs.

Stories like this remind us that the Whitehall Spirit® isn't just another boat. It becomes part of your lifestyle, your routine, and your favourite way to spend time on the water. Once you've experienced rowing one, it's hard to imagine being without it.

Thank you to Jim for sharing his story to our Whitehall Spirit Rowing Community page and welcome back to the Whitehall family! 🚣

One of the things people love most about the Whitehall Spirit® Solo 14® and Tango 17® is how confidence-inspiring they are to row.

Unlike a traditional racing shell, these boats are exceptionally stable, removing the fear of capsizing that can discourage many people from trying slide-seat rowing. They feel intuitive from the very first stroke, and it's not uncommon for complete beginners to be rowing comfortably during their first outing.

Whether you're new to rowing or have decades of experience, the Solo 14® and Tango 17® are designed to help build confidence, and simply enjoy being on the water. Their responsive handling and impressive manoeuvrability make them a pleasure to row, whether you're exploring a quiet lake, navigating a busy marina, or heading off on a longer adventure.

That's why Whitehall Spirit® owners range from first-time rowers to lifelong enthusiasts, these are boats you'll feel comfortable in from day one and continue to enjoy for years to come.

If you store your Whitehall Spirit® rowboat outdoors, the Lexan cover battens are an accessory you'll definitely want to use.

In this video, Whitehall CEO and co-founder Harold Aune demonstrates how quick and easy they are to install. These heavy-duty Lexan battens fit into the batten bases that come standard on every Whitehall Spirit® Solo 14® and Tango 17®, creating a gentle arch beneath the cover that allows rainwater to run off instead of pooling.

Preventing standing water helps reduce strain on your cover, minimizes the build-up of leaves and debris, and provides better protection for your boat while it's stored.

It's another example of the thoughtful design that goes into every Whitehall Spirit® rowboat, small details that make ownership simpler, so you can spend less time maintaining your boat and more time enjoying it on the water.

Can you take your dog rowing in a Whitehall Spirit® rowboat? 🐶🚣

One of the questions we hear most often is whether dogs can come along for the row, and the answer is a resounding yes. Over the years we've seen everything from tiny lap dogs to large adventure-loving retrievers become enthusiastic Whitehall companions.

For larger dogs, we recommend having them sit in the stern where there's plenty of room to stretch out. Many dogs also love riding in the bow, while smaller breeds are often perfectly happy curled up on a passenger's lap. If you're planning adventures with two larger dogs, the Whitehall Spirit® Tango 17 offers significantly more space than the Solo 14, making it our top choice for bringing the whole family along.

💡 Pro Tip: Pick up an inexpensive yoga mat and trim it to fit the bow or stern. It helps protect the boat's finish while giving your dog's paws extra grip, making every outing more comfortable and secure.

After all, the best days on the water are even better when your best friend is along for the ride. 🐾

Do you row with your dog? We'd love to see your photos in the comments!
