Bob, as things stand I have myself, Victoria and 3 other rowers (Tom, Teri and Martin) who can come down and help launch and coach/row the Gig.
I plan to leave Langstone around 14.00 and be with you for 15.00. We will then need to get the boat off the trailer and into the water - we could use some help with that as she is heavy and we will not have our usual 'dolly's' to use. The HW is at 17.30 so we can get in a couple of hours rowing. We will take crews 'out' first against the tide and let it bring them back in....
The plans is to have 2-3 experienced Gig rowers in the boat we take out 3-4 ECA people at a time to get the feel for it. Each trip is around 20 minutes and therefore we can handle around 3 sessions an hour say 9-12 people per hour - so around 24 people can get a row. Do you have any idea on numbers? Will we need to cater for more?
I'd like some help then to get the boat back on the trailer and away to Langstone after 5pm..
Cheers,
Locked
