Measure your boat

Have you ever looked at your bare shell of an ocean rowing boat and wondered where the best place to put the seat is?

The AOR is championing a new "measure your boat" scheme to help ocean rowers with a boat to set it up in the most efficient way possible. We're asking all our members to measure their boat through a set of easy to follow instructions. These measurements can then be used by members intending to row and ocean to check that their setup is reasonable and to avoid any nasty shocks such as putting the boat in the water and realising that the oars don't reach to the water or that the handles constantly scrape your legs. (Don't laugh too hard, it has been done.)

The details of what exactly we need you to measure will be up here soon, so grab your tape measure and standby for some seriously comfortable ocean rowing.
