Re: Skinniest single scull ever? Odd boat at world masters


since it's got some width to it below the water line, the displacement
could well be enough to allow it to float. Nonetheless, it looks as if
it would pitch fore and aft terribly during the stroke cycle. I could
imagine that bow ball going underwater at the finish and the stern
submerging before the catch.

must be an absolute sod to get it to go round bends!
