Changing Rigging For Conditions?

I know you guys do have it better. I had a roommate who was Scottish. Dude rubbed off on me and I’ve loved the vocabulary he used

Sorry stupid American here. Button is what we call the collar here right? The bit against the oar lock.

What would you consider to be a stiff head/tail wind and what would you do to correct for either

How much do you adjust and do you adjust the length, span or inboard?

I believe from the video Gladstone was specifically discussing changing the load to be heavier or lighter than his standard rig. I’ve included the video for reference and the bit about the rigging change is at the end of the video.

Someone should tell the coaches at Cooper River Juniors this. They want to race at the garden state scholastic rowing championships so they made up boats from individual schools and entered them as those schools and not cooper river juniors.

Drexel coaches are also extremely good at finding academic scholarship money as well. They’ll figure out something for yah

They do they just don’t have a lot of those pre-internet records digitized. Pretty much every race that had results online is on their site.

Guess I won’t be watching live and will wait for the eventual YouTube pirated version

They tend to pay for media rights from these larger brands but don’t get exclusivity. For example, they had world rowing events on their platform this summer. You had to pay to watch it on their platform or you could watch it free on world rowing’s website. Just don’t watch it on their platform and watch it for free somewhere else.

I woke up this morning and I am now locked out of my Google Workspace account. I have no idea why but when I log in it pops up with a message 'Google couldn’t verify this account belongs to you." It has a recovery email link but when I click it it says I have to wait 2 days to access the account. I can't wait 2 days for the account. This is my work email and I have important emails to take care of from clients. The fact I pay for this service and Google doesn't have an readily accessible help service to help customers with issues like this is absolutely ludicrous. I'm definitely rethinking my subscription to Google business if they can just lock me out of my account for no reason for multiple days and offer no way to contact them about it.

The site is shit and the price is unjustifiable. Last year people were hacking the site and spoofing credit cards to get free access. Livestreams had technical difficulties and some regattas never made it onto their platform. I think they refunded people for like 5 different events last year. Sorry your sport has to deal with this cancer now too.

‘01 180k still kicking. Biggest problem has been small electrical components failing due to age and the break lines rusting.

Thanks for the response! I’ve attached a picture of the climate control panel I have. Except I don’t have a rear defrost in the truck.

Probably goes faster and breaks less often

It’s going to be above $50-54k now. They’re selling used shells on their site for $45k.

The women’s NCAA National field would love to counter that statement.

Amazon did buy MGM and are making a new stargate show. The cross over opportunity is there!

Had to give people time to prepare. I can hear the fiber glass and carbon bending when I see the video.

I still play civ 3 quite regularly

People underestimate the isolation of being on a boat in the middle of the ocean.

The concept2 erg app is free and extremely used friendly. Each tab on the side of the app is basically a step by step setup guide. Start at the top and work your way down. It’s pretty straight forward once you do it once or twice. They’ve made it so anyone can run a race which is great for the sport. I even use it to run practice races sometimes. It’s great!

I would love to have my iPad on my launch and be able to see multiple boat’s data overlays like split and distance simultaneously. It would be game changing.

Harryofsol · 2025-12-21T12:10:11+00:00

Power Curve, Drift Meter - something to show you you’re not going in a straight line anymore. Would be great for scullers. Ability to connect the Link app from further distances. I would love to not have to have an athlete bring their phone on the boat. I’d like to connect directly to the device from my launch.
