  Racing shell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In watercraft, a shell or racing shell is an extremely narrow, and often disproportionately long, rowing boat specifically intended for racing or exercise.
Originally made from wood, shells are now almost always made from a composite material (usually carbon-fibre reinforced plastic in a honeycomb structure) for strength and weight advantages.
The best shells are characterized by their "stiffness", as the lack of flexing means none of the force exerted by the rower is wasted in twisting the boat.
