Row, row, row your boat
If this works, this will be a photo of a "sistership" to my rowboat: http://img.nauticexpo.com/images_ne/...l-competition- single-scull-22344-319171.jpg If it doesn't work, well, it didn't work. The boats are made by Empacher. There are many models, sizes, variations, and they are made for single rowers and crews. The boats are successful in competition, but I'm not into that except informally. I bought mine used. It was a year old. |

There's also the consideration you have to give to the fact that the shells have very little freeboard, less than your typical canoe. The boats are easily swamped, which is why we stay away whenever possible from powerboats and their wakes. The smaller lakes and streams are ideal because you usually do not find the more powerful powerboats there. |
