Who Likes to Row-Lets see'em

Pushing 75, I average 5-8 miles 2-3 times a week. Boat is a 17 ft Canadian Loudon double-ender. Two seasoned rowers can easily make 5-6 mph all day.

Very cool. Do you have a sliding seat setup or stationary? More pics of canoe, please.

No: two fixed seats, two sets of long oars, one set of short oars.

Beautiful boat. Looks like fun and a great way to exercise.

Wow,that nice....lets see 2@5-6 mph makes for roughly 60-70 miles in some inland water ways.Not a bad way to travel back in the day.Dont think you could make that much on horseback,terrain specific of course.Fine looking vessel.Exercise in style.

note that I say "seasoned rowers". The lake I row on is 3 miles long and about 3/8-1/2 mile wide. I can make the round trip in about an hour going balls out. However I am pretty tired by then. I usually average about 4-4.5. That extra .5mph pretty much doubles the effort. Sheet glass is best for rowing although this model has done well in open ocean races. You do not have to "pry it" thru the water like some models.

Get you a team going and row to Iceland, raise hell and claim it for the united States.
