Towing Boats Doesn\’t Have to Be a Pain: Get the Checklist

Towing a boat trailer is a fact of life for us rowers – particularly, if you\’re a coach, a dragon boater, a volunteer driver, or a boat club manager.

There are lots of tips for how to do it successfully – a main one being know your length and clearance, proceed with caution, and make sure your boathouse has insurance! (Speaking of which, here\’s a great podcast on what insurance to get for your boat club).

Here is a link to a great safety checklist we found, including a checklist for boat retrieval.

This second towing checklist is very detailed, with cartoons and close ups of parts and tools for the visually inclined.

Lastly, British Rowing published some guidance including a drivers handbook and a link to the UK road code \’are you fit to tow?\’

What do you think the most important point to remember when towing is? Do you have a checklist to share?

WHAT CLIENTS TALK ABOUT US

We are planning our bracket installation for September, and are very excited about the increased capacity they will provide. The blue color looks good!

Daniel CurtisBoat House Captain

SSRS, thanks so much for your thoughts and advice on the racks. They were installed a fortnight ago and adjusted this week and the whole club is loving them! The shed looks so much better because of them and the boats are thanking them, far less damage in the future!

Boat ClubUniversity of Western Australia

“We had one of our facilities men install them the day the brackets arrived. Every single rack is filled with our sweep and sculling blades and we’ve had no problems…Thank you for providing such a wonderful product…”

Andrea MorandUMass Amherst University

“We are thoroughly enjoying our oar brackets in our new boathouse! Having the oar brackets has alleviated a lot of boat damage we had seen previously in our old boathouse.”

Andrea MorandAssistant Rowing Coach at The University of Massachusetts

“I have used Space Saver Rowing Systems for a number of applications. I have always found them to be well thought out and designed and the materials used are of the highest quality. I would have no hesitation in recommending the SSRS products to any rowing program.”

Alastair Isherwood- Head Coach at Firbank Grammar School

"These racks were cost-effective, good looking and truly functional. They take up much less space than our previous racks and look amazing. Best of all, the oar handles are suspended above the ground, which helps considerably with the lifespan of the grips and the prevention of potential bacterial infections like MRSA. We are outfitting our entire boathouse with them.“

Yasmin Farooq- Stanford University Rowing Club

We would have no hesitation in using your services again for any future pontoon installations and recommend you to anyone else looking to do so as well.
