  • storage of rowing eights

    From tony tarlo@21:1/5 to All on Tue Aug 15 12:56:37 2023
    Hello all
    Our club has acquired it very first eights (used, reparable :-) and we are considering how to store / rack them. Can we use only two rack supports or are three support points much more preferable?

    In the UK most of our eights are sectioned and most clubs as far as I know use three supports.

    Yes, three is standard here in US as well.

    Thank you all for your help. (Couldn't find how to reply on a portable device)
