COASTAL
ROWINGWhat
is coastal rowing?Coastal rowing is the extreme
version, the adventure side of rowing. It involves rowing
along a sea coast and out into the sea and is one of the
fastest growing communities of rowers. It is especially
popular in Italy, France and Great Britain to name a few. It
can be found in all corners of the world including the
Maldives and many parts of Africa. Coastal rowing boats are
also used inland on some lakes and rivers where the water
tends not to be flat.

Rowing on rough water means that coastal rowing
is quite different from the flat-water Olympic style of
going in a straight line. Coastal rowers instead, often
prefer rough water which adds a whole new dimension to the
sport with many coastal rowers cherishing the exhilarating
aspect of rowing in extreme conditions. 

Coastal rowing is easier to
learn than flat-water rowing, due partly to the stability
and robustness of coastal rowing equipment which differs
from the Olympic-style boats. The standard boats are singles
(or solo), doubles and coxed quadruple sculls. But just
knowing how to handle a coastal rowing boat is not
sufficient to become a good coastal rower. Crews must be
aware of tides and currents, learn about the course's
topography and know what to do in the midst of maritime
traffic and in case of bad weather. For more information on

too fast). Instead, buy a heavier, shorter boat and be like
the French.
