“Got to cox the FITRA women's 8 today. The Mary Ellen was wonderful. Very responsive, etc. with minimal rudder at 24-26+/ 3/4 pressure. Also, on long steady state piece this AM, was very interesting to hear the sound of the water/air against/under the hull.  Very easy for a cox to tell if a boat is moving well or not.  I've never heard such a sound before in anyone else's boat.  Also, proved true at the higher rating this afternoon.  I could tell if the crew was rushing or running very easily!  NICE!”

- Tim Edsell, from a practice he had in a Resolute Lightweight 8 while training with some FITRA (Florida Institute of Technology Rowing Assn) ladies who are readying themselves for the 2015 Charles. www.coxnschool.com

-Responsive, wonderful Women's 8!

"I used to think that we needed to buy a new boat every year in order for our top crews to remain competitive. And with the competition, we did. Now I realize that there are two types of crews out there: There are those that haven’t owned a RESOLUTE…yet, and those that wouldn’t own anything else."

-Head Coach New England High School Crew
