| Our new marathon boats and paddles arrived at our boathouse this morning and they look fantastic!
Neil and Steve were there to off-load them and store them on the re-positioned racks, and Martin arrived later to take some more pics.
At the moment, the boats are just to look at!
The boats are not going to be used on the Tuesday or Thursday evening training sessions (more details about them soon) until the
club’s equipment policy and training packages are agreed and finalised by the committee.
This is to ensure fair usage. This applies to everyone, including coaches, so no, we haven’t had a go in them today!
There are 8 boats in three different stability factors (10, 8 an 6, where 10 is marathon beginner and 1 is World Championship standard)
and they are in a specially designed colour scheme based on our club colours.
As can be seen below, Neil is rather excited!
Here is one outside in the daylight:
This shows their true colours:
and this is the other three:
