The Boats

“The difference between an SLR boat and others that I’ve raced is just the quality of the workmanship and the attention to detail they put into little things, like rigging and getting that perfect.”
Emma Twigg – Olympic Champion, 5x World Champion

Active Tools Partnership

Cymba Racing has partnered with Active Tools to offer the finest electronics to enhance your performance racing craft.

Inspired by Nature’s Speed Machine

The Sailfish is the fastest fish in the ocean, capable of bursts over 68mph. It’s our emblem, our ethos, and our engineering benchmark. Every Cymba Racing shell is designed to capture that same combination of speed, agility, and endurance.

“When you're looking for a racing boat that delivers a decisive competitive advantage right from that all-important start, Fluid Design is your answer. These boats are exceptionally fast, remarkably light, and feature dynamically efficient hulls that excel in rough water conditions. When every second counts, Fluid Design gives us the edge we need to win races.”

Iain Sommerside The Glasgow Academy

“We've been partnering with Cymba Racing since day one, and the choice has proven invaluable time and again. Three factors set them apart: exceptional racing boat quality, outstanding customer service, and an unwavering commitment to ensuring our success on the water. Cymba Racing doesn't just supply boats—they deliver the expertise and support that make the difference between finishing and winning.”

Iain Sommerside The Glasgow Academy

“Fluidesign boats are incredibly robust yet light. Gav’s expertise made choosing the right setup easy, and the aftercare has been personal and reliable.”

Rasnaam Marlow Rowing Club

“The Fluid Max was immediately impressive in choppy water—stable, unfazed, and fast. Its stability has been decisive, even contributing to a Marlow win. As a coach, I’ve found it gives athletes the confidence to focus on technique, and with that confidence comes speed.”

Jon Lane Coach, City of Oxford Rowing Club Juniors
