What types of rowing programs does RowQuinte offer?
A. We have a variety of offerings for young people and adults. They include “Learn to Row” programs for Youth, High School and Adult participants; a “Rowing League/Masters” program; a “High School Competitive” program; a “Summer Club Competitive” program and a “Fall Head Races” program. Visit “Our Programs” page for more details. Q. What kind of boats are used? A. The boats (or shells) are basically of two types and reflect the two forms of rowing: – sweep rowing and sculling. In sweep rowing each rower handles a single oar (about 12.5 ft or 3.9 m long) in sculling a rower uses two oars, or sculls, (each about 9.5 ft or 3 m long). The word shell is often used in reference to the boats used because the hull is only about 1/8″ to 1/4″ thick to make it as light as possible.
