This past weekend, Community Rowing, Inc. of Boston (CRI) served as host to a Para Coaching Practical Workshop presented by Ellen Minzner (Director of Outreach), Beth Noll (High Performance Para Coach), and Marilyn Koban (CRI Military and Para Programs Coordinator). RESOLUTE Racing Shells and RESOLUTE Adaptive (Bristol, RI) helped sponsor the event.
After having installed Canard Fins on several boats initially used at HOCR with amazing, positive results, we are now offering a Canard Fin retrofit as an available option on our all of our sweep boats! The concept of the canard comes to us from aeronautics, where it is defined as, "A small winglike projection attached to an aircraft forward of the main wing to provide extra stability or control." In rowing, adding a Canard Fin offers:
Is one rigger better for “stronger” athletes or one inherently more appropriate for novices?
Should hand clearance always take priority when choosing wing riggers vs. Euro?
