About Elias Thorne

My name is Elias Thorne and I have spent the last fifteen years building custom rowing shells and their interiors for elite clubs.

What started as a hobby in my father's boatyard has evolved into a specialized trade focused on the intersection of marine engineering and fine cabinetry.

I believe that a boat's interior is just as important as its hull, providing comfort and organization for the athlete.

Through this blog, I aim to share the technical details and woodworking secrets that go into creating the perfect rowing environment.
