New Rowing Amplifier Website

[[old] In2Rowing]

Hi all! <br /><br />I dunno if the moderators will even let me post, I apologize for bothering anyone. I would like to link to a newly launched site for coxswain amplifiers - <a href='http://www.in2rowing.com' target='_blank'>www.in2rowing.com</a>. I've been building this little contraption for awhile! We got a test unit of the In2 in a boat a few weeks ago and our team coxswain love it! Well, after they figured out how to use it! <br /><br />It's a bit difficult to get the word out to the rowing community so I apologize for shamelessly peddling my wares.<br /><br />I welcome any criticism or thoughts! <br />Regards, <br />-Nathan

Thats an amazing tool for coxswains right there. I hope my rowing team invests in something like that, I can see so many uses especially with the splits in a race.

<b>Hello,<br /><br />what is a coxswain - could not find it in the dictionary.<br /><br />They only sowed me "cock" which is a synonym for "p####" and "swine" for pig - but the combiination does not make sense to me? Am I missing something?<br /><br />Thanks for helping me understand.</b>

"In Two!" Fantastic!<br /><br />Nice bit of kit, but the web site copy should read "Speed over land" rather than "speed over water", because if you are on a flowing body of water GPS is not a good indicator of your rowing speed. Unless you have come up with some way to correct for current.<br /><br />I'd also suggest making the unit Orange or Yellow, much easier to find in the dim morning hours.<br /><br />Congrats on Brining it to market! All the best!

Maybe you should rate it XXX

It is still important to know the speed of the boat relative to the water. Now if some one could come up with a device that would combine a GPS, over the bottom, speed indicator (which this seems to be) with a Speed Coach (or other speed through the water device) then we should have something that would give the speed of the current and, hopefully, its direction. Not all that important on a straight, well-bouyed 2k course, but it would be useful in open ocean races and probably for longer distance river races (Head of the Charles?) as well.<br /><br />Even having the two gadgets without an interconnection (other than the coxswain's brain) would give more accurate information about the varying currents of a river than just guess work. I remember a family story about a sailboat doing 7 knots under the Golden Gate Bridge and staying in the same place for quite some time until some one suggested moving a bit closer to the Marin shore, where the outgoing tide was not quite so strong.<br /><br />Bob S. <br />
