What kind of boats do modified rowers use?
Modified rowers use four-person boats and stable, training singles. They focus on sculling (2 oars/person, one in each hand).
A note on practices...
All spring, summer, and fall practices occur in Stewart Park at Cascadilla Boathouse. Practices are held, weather permitting, on the Cayuga and Fall Creek Inlets, and Cayuga Lake. Typically, boats go out in most weather except when there is a strong north wind or thunder. If the weather does not allow rowing, practices are held on-land and include aerobic workouts, strength training, erging, and stretching.
Who: Middle Schoolers (grades 6-8), both new and experienced
- 8th graders may join Novice instead of Modified if they want to be in a more competitive program
- All rowers must be at least 12 years old due to US Coast Guard restrictions for on-water activities.
