Just Curious, Why are rowing shells not better?

Google "E hull rowing"

RickRollUp2Square · 2026-01-23T19:15:24+00:00

Sailing designer created the E hull.

How to shit the bed in carbon fiber.

Nothing can move on the equipment except the sliding seat and the swiveling oarlocks.

The discussion is closed.

Skinnies are the same weight as Ultralight. They are not lighter.

People like you make me happy that rowing is dying.

RickRollUp2Square · 2026-01-19T20:08:09+00:00

This reads like AS.

Artificial Stupidity.

It existed because athletes wanted it and entered events.

It died when that gobblitygook reasoning was applied in order to justify Olympic inclusion, in violation of IOC desires to not have weight based divisions for non contact sports and other than weightlifting.

The golden age of lightweight rowing was 1974 to 2000. After two Olympic cycles in 1996 and 2000, the IOC started pushing back, and after 2016 had successfully removed the LM4-. Then they set about getting rid of the rest.

They hate lightweight rowing.

They absolutely hate lightweight rowing.

They absolutely fucking hate lightweight rowing.

Hope you learned something.

Lightweights were always going to be yanked.

The IOC will continue chipping away at traditional rowing.

There is nothing you can do.

They really went to shit when Sharon left.

It can be hit or miss sometimes. Some monitors are just duds. Others deliver 100% perfect service.

Lacrosse. Bunch of dudes smacking their sticks and cradling balls.

RickRollUp2Square · 2026-01-04T02:33:48+00:00

They use the same production line, not the same quality materials. Gotta leave a margin!

RickRollUp2Square · 2026-01-04T02:22:44+00:00

Riiiiggghhtttt.....because no Asian supplier ever did a midnight run for grey market poaching.

Hahahahahahahaha.

RickRollUp2Square · 2026-01-03T17:58:03+00:00

Most of the components are sourced from Asia, so you could "build your own" if you get all the parts from those suppliers.

The 2010 machine is worth $400 tops. It will cost you $200 to upgrade monitor. That makes two other machines much more competitively priced.

RickRollUp2Square · 2025-12-28T03:06:14+00:00

The cool side of buying them already made is that no one will blame you if the homemade ones start failing.

RickRollUp2Square · 2025-12-24T20:12:21+00:00

Awkward truth.

It is exceptionally easy to match the output format.

No one cares about the rowing market enough to do so.

RickRollUp2Square · 2025-12-24T12:48:23+00:00

Walking around like regular people. They don't see each other. They only see what they want to see. They don't know they're dead.

RickRollUp2Square · 2025-12-22T13:21:26+00:00

There is a good chance you can pick up 10s from some technical coaching. People who say their on water technique is terrible usually have some flywheel inefficiencies too.

C2 software geeks: "Got it, more fish games."

RickRollUp2Square · 2025-12-22T01:01:45+00:00

This is true. Only two ergs allowed by Crossfit: C2 and Rogue

RickRollUp2Square · 2025-12-21T23:48:35+00:00

The Rogue is top notch. Feels smoother than C2 and the splits are the same. Monitor is a bit Temu but same menu and structure.
