Re: Holiday Challenge - Incredible Meters???

All, Just a follow up question. I've been a rowerg owner/user since 2014 and have been slowly accumulating meters every season since. Lifetime erg meters is about 6,800,000. Given that apparently some folks can "game" the C2 logbook by adding meters manually, can a cheater increase their lifetime me...

Holiday Challenge - Incredible Meters???

Just a question from the peanut gallery. :D :D I look forward to rowing the Holiday Challenge each year as a start to the indoor rowing season. How can some folks put up extremely high meters almost from the start of the Challenge? 5,000,000 meters seems incredible to me. Also wondering how Concept ...

Re: Cover/Padding for Seat

I've been using the Endure Row for several years. It has shown no wear at all and is an excellent product. It is relatively firm, but quite a bit softer than the Concept 2 seat. I would recommend it as an alternative to the foam pad/bubble wrap solutions.

Re: Custom Seats

Try Carl Douglas. I believe they provide a soft mold to put your butt in to establish the sit bone spacing.

Hope this helps.

Re: Coffey rowing shells

Mark, You're welcome. I had the experience of restoring an Owen Composite hull for Daryl, and, you are right, the Owen is very similar to the Coffey. Owen used a "striped" cedar stateroom which is really pretty. Owen also laminated the cedar splashboards into "wings" on the composite hull. The Coffe...

Re: Coffey rowing shells

Mark,

As a postscript, Dan Ruml website has some closeups of a Coffey shell you might find helpful. Nice boats and definitely worth restoration.
