8:45 AM and again at 9:30 AM

Let Frank Cunningham guide you in unraveling the mysteries of rigging.  Suitable for those rowers who are interested in proper adaptation of rowing equipment to their individual height and strength.
In this hands-on experience each rower will be able to reproduce the exact measurements of rigging and oars that perfectly suit him or her without recourse to formulas or any but the simplest calculations.  At conclusion, you will know how to do it yourself with simple tools from your home.  Bring paper and pencil! Clarification: Frank will not be working with your boat.
First 12 to sign up will be personally guided and leave with proper specifications for their own equipment. SORRY ALL THE SPOTS ARE TAKEN. However,  please come to watch and learn!

Email kcdietz56@gmail.com if you have any questions.   Coffee and treats will be served!  If you’d like to donate some breakfast foods that would be great.  Thanks.

good, the bad and the ugly and take a look into what’s ahead for 2010.
