Circa 1980. $1000 or best offer for single.  $500 for classic wood Pocock sculls. Good for someone 160 lbs or more.  History…

Owner bought the ‘red’ recreational Pocock single in 1987 from original owner. Boat was stored on the side of a houseboat, which could be why one side is more shiny. A good waxing will do wonders. The boat was stored by current owner under a concrete pier, in a well protected spot until 1993. Then it was stored in the rafters of a garage until it found its’ way to the LWRC Fremont boathouse. The wooden oars are much sought after, old school sculling blades. Come check them out at the boathouse! Take out for a spin….

Contact KC Dietz, co-captain at dietzkc@hotmail.com or reply to this blog.

Save the date for these upcoming events in June:

All Member Meet-n-Greet # 2 June 7th 8:30am at the Fremont Boathouse.  Some new members couldn’t make it and a few others have joined since the last meet-n-greet.  Here is another chance to get to know each other with coffee and breakfast after a great Saturday morning row.  We’ll supply the coffee if you can supply a tasty breakfast treat.  Niki is working on a theme for the event, I will let you know when I hear.

Work Party June 14th 8:30am at the Fremont Boathouse.  This is a great chance to get some volunteer hours for the club and we need your help to keep the building in great shape.  Please mark your calendar and join us. Conor has lots of tasks for us to complete!
