Rowing Safety

As with any sport or activity, rowing has its own set of hazards and dangers. For starters, rowing boats aren't exactly the lightest of vessels, and being out on the water can still pose a risk for even the most experienced rower or swimmer. Another hazard that comes with rowing is also towards your equipment. Unsafe or inexperienced handling can lead to damaged rowing equipment, as well as cause injury to ourselves or other team members. All of this can be costly

Last week, SSRS had the privilege of installing their Sliding Arm Boat racks in the ANU (Australian National University) Boathouse in Canberra. As you can see from the 'before' pictures, the boathouse was a bit limited with it's storage options. And do we have to mention the struggle their crews inevitably faced when retrieving their boats from the top of the stationary racks? Does it look familiar?

First, what is a Stake Boat? A Stake boat is where the rowing boats start the race from. A volunteer will hold onto the stern tip of the boat to keep it from drifting away.  The other job of the volunteer is to move the boat in and out according to the "aligner" (person to the side on shore that makes sure all the boats start evenly)'s commands.  Since some boats are longer than others, the aligner simply lines up all the bow

Do you know of any good guidelines for carrying sculling boats on the roof of cars with/ without a full sculling rack?  There has been an incident at our club as the bowball was tied down to the bumper and the strap worked loose and came undone and then got caught under a wheel as the car slowed down and wrenched the boat but tying the bowball down was an insurance requirement and I’m not sure how we prevent it

If your rowing club has any number of wing rigger boats, you'll be familiar with the struggle of fitting multiple boats into the available boathouse space. If you use quick-release wing riggers and put two singles or doubles on a rack, then storing the riggers is your new problem.  Their burly dimensions make them challenging to store efficiently, which compromises the overall number of boats you can fit into your boatshed. Space Saver Rowing Systems have the solution! Our Wing Rigger Brackets will maximise the space for the boat

Are you tired of straining furiously to retrieve boats at dangerous heights, from unstable footings? Or perhaps your boatshed lacks the required floor space to store all of your boats effectively, making it difficult to access them when you need to - costing you valuable time on the water. If your boat house has vertical roof space that is un-used - take a look at this video. Let us introduce the solution to all your boat storage problems! The Space Saver Rowing Systems mechanical

For this blog post we're going back to basics for boathouse safety. We love innovating boathouses for maximum safety and efficiency, but at the end of the day if you haven't covered the little things then the bigger innovations aren't as effective. So here's our short list of boathouse safety basics we feel every club should pick up and check: Keep your rowers safe We're focuses on this first because it should be a club's top priority. Not only will caring for

Isn't it annoying when your electronic rowing equipment goes missing? Even more rage-inducing is when you take it out onto the water just to realise it's out of battery!
