www.rowwinni.org rows Lake Waukewan in Meredith, across from the Meredith Water Dept, early in the morning, just about every day, with singles, doubles, fours, and 8-seaters.

Sometimes, but not too often, they row Meredith Bay on Winnipesaukee. So, maybe they should change their name to rowwaukee.org?

You want to know what works totally super-duper for rowing the 2 1/2 foot high, endless incoming Winnipesaukee weekend motorboat wakes? A 15' or a 17' Grumman aluminum canoe, set up with an old A-Row-Bic, 1980's, slide seat rowing rig, and some 7' long, wood oars. And, it is a relative el cheapo row that can handle anything and everything that Lake Winnipesaukee can whip up ..... big wakes .... wind chop ... big waves .... 500-year tsunamis .... the wake from the Sophie C. .... the wake from the Doris E. .... you name it ....anything....it is an extremely stable row with the canoe sides high enough, and plenty dynamic ride to stay safely afloat while seated in the center of the canoe, and pretty close to the floor, in the rowing rig.

Is somewhat similar to an old row dory from the 1780's.
