Rowing & Boats

1st Training Scull on Windemere

I have received from Windermere a number of enquiries about rowing boats since the 10 knot speed limit was introduced there. Speed boats and water skiers have disappeared from the lake and now the lake is attractive for rowing when it is calm. Rowing in fairly fine boats with a low freeboard can happily coexist with sailing on the lake as, of course, it is never windy and calm at the same time. Usually the lake will be calm early in the morning and late in the evening.

The video shows just how easy it is to learn to scull when you have stabilisers under the outriggers.
