Plans for open water rowing shell

Hi everyone

I am looking for some plans for a fast open water rowing shell!

I want to make it in wood (No plywood) and it would be nice if the boat is hard to build, cause i am studying to boat builder and want a challenge (just started so not super super hard).

I prefer speed over stability (but nothing extreme)

pricing max about 100-150 us dollar (download is ok)

i am 194 cm


I would really apreciate a link or two!

Thanks in adwance

Regards Sander

Wooden shells are plywood. Racing ones are steamed and laminated in place. It takes a very experienced boatbuilder to make them. Some older boats were make of Honduras mahogany of about 2.5 mm. They need a full time professional to maintain them.
