Do private boats in your boathouse just collect dust?

But what if the private boat only serves as a dust collector because there is little or no rowing. Do you know this situation? Rowperfect has asked around in various clubs. Here are our results.Private boats as dust collectorsPrivate boat as dust collectors: a common phenomenonWe spoke to 12 clubs. Everyone knows this phenomenon: T -

No neoprene on the boat, please! A field report.
Dry Fashion’s Aqua TopBefore every rowing tour at the coast, I think about the best clothing for a four-hour rowing tour on the sea. Not always an easy task, especially in autumn. You have to face high waves, splashes, and your buttock and back get wet. Last year I wore a wet suit – a neoprene suit. It was a bit bigger than I needed it, because I wanted freedom for my arms while pulling through. And a better blood circulation than I would get with a tight one. But it turned out that -
