Mike Davenport is an experienced rowing coach who has seen many seasons through. Here he shares his wisdom about the maintenance and pre-season preparation that every club should do before heading out onto the water.
Written as an easy check-list of 43 separate items (and a couple of subsidiary ones), he sets out everything you should check, service, repair, upgrade and maintain. Working from boats through oars, vehicles, coach boats, spare parts, straps, shoes to insurances – this is an invaluable resource for every rowing club.
