We thought we would share this note that came in through our website.

To whom it my concern at Resolute, reference regatta wins, I picked up a bronze at the Chattanooga Head Race in the senior masters 1X race Oct 8th, I rowed the second best time but due to handicapping third place is where I stand. Oh, this was my first race. After I bought this amazing scull almost a year ago I had Casey give me a few pointers (Casey is awesome!) which together with this incredible Z1 allowed me to progress confidently and quickly. Thank you for such a wonderful product. It got a lot of attention at the regatta, made me feel kinda special. Hopefully more wins will come in the future, I will let you know. Respectfully, Ed Uhrich

The Resolute Team would like to send out a big “Congratulations” to Ed for his Bronze Medal win. Keep up the good work and do let us know about those future wins!!

RESOLUTE Provides Service / Repairs on All Boat Brands

RESOLUTE has a reputation for making the highest performing, most durable and best looking racing shells available.  The same skilled personnel and facilities that create these eye catching / race winning boats are also available to you to provide the highest quality of repair and restoration to your boat, whether it is a RESOLUTE or any other brand shell.

June and July are the best months to get this work performed plus we will offer you a 10% savings on our labor cost for work scheduled during this period.  Many programs are off the water during the summer and our manufacturing plant has available shifts to handle the work on a timely and efficient basis.  If necessary, we can also provide free summer storage.  Come in for a tour when dropping off or picking up your boat and see how we build quality, performance, and durability into every RESOLUTE we make.

Our repair service is complete and runs the gamut from scratch and dent repair to complete boat restoration including full hardware replacement and a completely new paint job.

The process works like this:

• Call us and provide an outline of the condition of the boat and the work you want done.
• We will provide you with the paperwork necessary to return your boat.
• Arrange for transportation.
• Upon receipt, we will perform a detailed marine survey per your direction and provide you with a detailed quotation and proposal within 5 business days.
• Provide an authorization for us to proceed accompanied by a 50% down payment.

Give us a call to determine which boats you want to have serviced and to answer any questions that you may have about the process.  We look forward to returning your boat to the performance level you deem appropriate as quickly as possible.

We here at Resolute take a lot of pride in our boats.  After they leave the shop we don’t always hear how they are fairing out in the lakes, rivers, and bays of the world. That is why we so enjoy going to regattas like Stotesbury because we get to chat with the parents, kids, and coaches who are so enthusiastic about  our product  they aren’t afraid to tell us what they think. Good or bad.

We met Jeff Biby, a parent of one of the boys on the Don Bosco crew. He sent us this great shot of Stroke Scott Menken sitting at the awards dock at the Philadelphia City Championships.

Jeff said: “We recently purchased two new Resolute 4+ boats. At the FIRST race using our new Resolute boats, our Junior 4+ boys finished 2^nd (Silver Medal) at the Philadelphia City Championships. The same boat went on to win the Bronze medal at the Stotesbury Cup Regatta the following weekend in a field of 54 boats.”

The boat line up: Scott Menken (Stroke), Aaron McAvey, Thomas McNulty, Brian Sullivan (Bow), and Dylan Galimi (Coxswain).

While we are proud to provide you with the base for your wins, remember it was all of your hard work and guts that made those wins happen! Congratulations from all of the Resolute Crew on your victories this spring.
