Gig Rowing
Rows range from beginner to high intensity.
Something for everyone!
Beginner, Recreational, and Technique Rows
Beginner: Learn to row a 32-foot Cornish Gig. Join a crew of six for one-hour, on-the-water beginner lesson on a how-to-row safely and successfully. Open to ages 10+.
Recreational: low-intensity community rows, focusing on rowing basics.
Skills & Drills: low-to-moderate intensity rows that hone techniques (form, stroke, timing, feathering) using fun, practice exercises.
​
Exercise, Power and Advanced Skills Rows
Exercise: moderate-to-high intensity rows that reinforce form while building strength, fitness and endurance (requires several completed recreational/community rows).
Power: continuous high- intensity rows concentrating on timing, form, and technique to increase force and maximize power (requires the completion of several exercise rows and the ability to keep in time while rowing at a high and powerful stroke rate).
​
Advanced Skills Rows: continuous high-intensity rows teaching racing dynamics and crew teamwork to those interested in racing (if you're unsure, ask your cox if you are ready for this row).
Other Types of Rows
Meditation Row: an early morning, 90-minute row that includes “quiet time” for reflection on the surroundings and silent contemplation.
Private Row: Groups may reserve one of our boats and schedule a coxswain for a private outing. Donations to Come Boating are appreciated to support our programs. For more info, please contact
