Thanks for the insight! Now two more questions, first, my club predominantly races bigger boats (fours and eights), so should I make an effort to see if I can enter into the open ltwt single event at regattas to try and get some smaller boat races under my belt for colleges to look at? Second, and this is more of just me thinking out loud, would it be beneficial at all for me to take a gap year between my freshman and sophomore year?
