We've got a Wintech Coastal Scull on loan!

We just bought 4 pairs of oars for our Atlantic crossing from the guys at Oarsport, and when they heard about our challenge they very kindly offered us the loan of the new Wintech Coastal Single Scull, which has been developed to compete in FISA coastal rowing competition. Having this single scull has allowed us to get out onto the water whilst restrictions prevent us from training together, so it's been a fantastic tool to help us learn how to scull! As you'll see from the footage, none of us are scullers so it's been quite a steep learning curve to go from pulling one big sweep oar in a 4 man skiff to feathering 2 oars in a finely balanced racing shell, but it feels like it's improving our technique as well as forcing us to be more flexible in the hips to absorb the waves - something we'll have to get very used to on the Atlantic! The model we've been using is the carbon fibre-based racing shell, but the same design can also be constructed using cheaper materials to produce an affordable alternative for those who'd rather explore than race. Get in touch with the guys at Oarsport for more information. https://oarsport.co.uk Remember to like and subscribe to keep up to date with our vlogs and check out our website www.fiveinarow.co.uk for more about our Atlantic Rowing Challenge.
