Our Rowing Club here in Wichita has purchased a single place rowing
shell in Murfreesboro, TN and are trying to figure out a way to get it here. Like Sailplanes, rowing shells are oddly shaped and a little difficult to transport around the country. A cartop rack is included so if your vehicle has a roof rack it should be able to be attached pretty easily. The boat is probably about 21 feet long. Oars are included which are a bit over 9 feet long. I thought maybe someone from Colorado or other places west had made the trip to the Seniors and might be headed back home here in a week or so. Or perhaps there are others who are on the road and might be somewhere close to this route. |

Sorry, no help from me. But a glider in tow AND a rowing shell on the rack - now that's my kind of load :-) Tim EY (Also Head Coach, Cambridge Crew Dallas, TX) |

Tim you should bring your crew up here to Wichita for our Frostbite Regatta the first weekend of November. |

I brought Susan's Alden Ocean Single back from the East Coast strapped
to the top of my first glider/trailer. I used straps and pads. It definitely helped with recognition as most of the questions at gas stations where either: Is that a drop tank? or Is that a seaplane float? / why is there only one of them? :-) |

It is always interesting watching people try to figure out what it is. |
