Designed to enhance the performance of senior women.

The F68 is an extremely versatile boat that perfectly exploits the technique of senior women, which has evolved over time, taking into account the accelerations that distinguish this category.

The experience and studies gained over the years have made it possible to create a tailor-made design for this category, in order to exploit the performance of the athletes who in the past rowed on boats designed for men. In general, the wealth of data collected on international competition fields has allowed us to create something specially designed to enhance the gesture of every rower: from the simple amateur to the Olympic athlete.

F68 Filippi boat

Curves and spaces optimized to increase thrust.

The choice fell on a more pronounced curvature of the hull. Hull that both in the scull and sweep version matches perfectly with the Aliante carbon rigger.

All the geometries are created to favor the performance of the athletes on the boat. The space between the gunwales has in fact been increased, compared to the F46 and F13 previously used, increasing the sensation of the possibility of pushing by the athletes. In addition, the heights from the water and the center of gravity have been optimized in favor of the athletes ergonomics and exploitation of their potential. The studies and tests conducted reveal that the change of pace is obtained from 34 strokes upwards. Acceleration on the final sprint becomes even more efficient thanks to the particularly upright attitude of the boat.

The curvature has been studied by exploiting the maximized volumes in the key areas of the hull. It goes well with acceleration, which increases the possibility of exploiting the “wedging” produced by water, favoring the glide that allows you to reduce the wet surface and increase instant speed.

Computational optimization.

The optimization of the new F68 was obtained from computational fluid dynamics studies and finite element analysis carried out by the Filippi engineering pool.

All the deformations of the hull in the phases of the stroke have been put under examination. And this has allowed the study of a structural fluid interaction that has determined the perfect choice for the final shape and the structural stiffeners of the hull.

Explosive performance with Aliante carbon riggers.

The Aliante carbon riggers represent the perfect configuration to exploit the acceleration characteristics of the hull in the attack phase. There is no better choice to guarantee that stiffness capable of directly transmitting the load without dispersion.

Designed for women. Performing even for lightweight men.

The various tests carried out convinced the technicians that the new F68 could bring great benefits in terms of top speed even to lightweight men, allowing them to improve their technique both at catch and finish.
