| Submission declined on 19 April 2024 by Greenman (talk). This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

History
edit
Fluidesign was established in 1999 by Gordy Henry, a former Hudson Boatworks salesman.[3] [4] Henry left Hudson Boatworks in 1998 and soon after was approached by Diamond Aircraft for a collaborative project. [5] [6]
This project utilized expertise from the aviation industry, particularly in aerodynamics and the application of carbon fiber, to innovate in the design of rowing shells.[6][7] The initial Fluidesign models featured distinctive wing-like outriggers, a design choice influenced by the aerodynamic principles used in Diamond aircrafts.[6]
In January 2000, Henry began selling Fluidesign racing shells and subsequently gained full control of the company by purchasing his business partner’s shares.[5]
In 2016, the company relocated to its current premises on Elias Street in London, Ontario, from its previous location at 175 Exeter Road, London, Ontario.[6] [8]
Rowing shell design
editFluidesign's rowing shells are recognized for their colored carbon fiber construction, a choice made to eliminate the need for paint and thereby reduce the overall weight of the boats.[9] [3] Fluidesign's range of boats includes singles, doubles and pairs, and coxed and coxless quads.[10][11]
