New Filippi rowing boats ready for delivery

General cleaning/polishing
The boat is prepared for the inspection and repair process. The first step involves a thorough cleaning, followed by general polishing..

Structural damage control
Each component of the boat is examined, starting with the hull and riggers. The condition and functionality of each part is checked to ensure that the absolute efficiency and performance of everything is guaranteed, as athletes should expect from a Filippi boat..

In addition to performance, each Filippi must also meet high aesthetic standards. This is why one of the steps is devoted exclusively to checking for imperfections, areas with yellowing paint, small dents, scratches, and so on.

Repairs and replacements
After all checks have been effectuated, any structural and cosmetic damage is repaired..

MAS shoes
The boat is equipped with MAS shoes selected from certified pre-owned products. Shoes one size larger than requested may be provided based on stock availability..
If no certified pre-owned products are available - as is the case with all other components - new MAS shoes shall be fitted..
