No, ergs don't yet float, but some of us do, and here's where you get to discuss that other form of rowing.

Small boat

Post by splishsplash » April 15th, 2015, 2:05 pm

My Wife would like a scull but being 5ft and 100lbs she seems lost in most racing shells. I heard the Maas Flyweight might be an option, any other suggestions

Presumably you already have a boat club. Suggest you use one of theirs. They'll have training boats to learn how and can tell you all about safety on their particular water.
