Concept2 Forum

any feedback from folks that have used both?

I understand the vasa can do single and double poling.

I am primarily an OTW rower, but I do some xc in the winter.

Lots of learn to row weeks at all the clubs if you want to sweep.

If you want to scull, go to craftsbury for a week in vermont to their sculling center. best way to learn.

use it and like it.

Nosmo, did you enter the owrc regatta today, as you have in the past? did ok if so? I would not use a racing single in areas where you don't have consistent calm waters - which doesn't mean there aren't some windy days, boat wakes, etc. The maas 24 is a pretty fast boat and with its round hull will ...

I have a cp1 as well. I mainly do on the water sculling in a 1x, but use the C2 periodically. I don't think the balance on the cp1 is that realistic since on the 1x you are correctingfor any inbalance differently HOWEVER, I found it awesome to identify whether I had an unequal strength leg drive (wh...

Chris, Glad you are enjoying the sport, and doing it the right way. Lessons are key. Stroke rate of 30 isn't determinative or even useful except in racing starts where we go over that. However, the key is to master low stroke rates of 14/16spm, as that is where stability is a bigger issue. The drive...

If hair is missing, you may well be a master's age rower, so the sprint distances are 1,000meters not 2,000. (oops on the water)

Chris, Don't be in a hurry to move to a "racing" boat. Yes, you are making big strides, but you will look back a year from now and won't imagine how poorly you were rowing back then. You should move ahead in hull shape when you can consistently clear your blades, and at a stroke rating of let's say ...

Curious what happened to the selection. Getting into a racing 1x would not be a wise move. You won't have the ability to work out the kinks in your stroke. It will take you a couple of years of daily rowing to develop something reasonable, as there is no shortcuts. Your first year needs to be in som...

On the video, the biggest fault is everyone is rowing over the barrel, burying the blades way too deep.
