RACE1 is an Australian based company, designing, building and exporting high quality racing shells around the world from our factory in Sydney.

RACE1 Australia commenced manufacture of hand built timber, racing shells in 1975, utilizing traditional methods and materials. In 1976, the transition to fiberglass boats was made and in 1978, the company pioneered the manufacture of male-moulded composite racing shells.

In 1984, export of racing shells from Australia commenced with orders from UK, Europe and the USA. From the early 90's work continued to towards development of the "optimum boat". This quest has seen the ongoing trialling of various combinations of materials, construction methods and innovative research and development.




As a prestigous testimony to the company's expertise, Race1 was successful in securing the contract to design and build the official catamarans, used at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. These boats are designed to create minimal wash and provide a stable platform for race umpiring, coaching and filming of crews in action. The catamarans are now being exported world wide.

Race1 is fast gaining recognition for innovative design and manufacture of high quality racing shells for elite athletes, clubs, school and college rowers. While specialising in design, development and construction of sculls, doubles and quad sculls, Race1 has a range of moulds to manufacture all classes of boats.
