Alden was founded to improve the quality of people's lives
through rowing. Alden made the first open-water, sliding-seat
rowing shell over 30 years ago and are the leader in that field.
Alden has taken their knowledge and passion for rowing and
applied it to a new type of shell -- the racing shell. This is NOT
an open water or so called recreational shell. It is designed for
one very specific task --
TO GO FAST ON FLAT WATER!
The Alden 26 is designed to be both affordable and race worthy. Before the Alden 26, rowers
looking for racing shells had two choices: Elite competition singles which are stiff, light and
elegantly designed but also expensive and fragile. Club singles which are less expensive and
durable but tend to be heavy and lack the beauty of the classic shell.
The Alden 26 was conceived based on the knowledge of what the experienced rower wants,
designed using hull CAD software and executed with the skill that comes with 30 years of
experience. The Alden 26 provides the dimensions and beauty of an elite boat at the price and
durability of a club single.
