 Ever watched one-man sculling boats glide through Puget Sound? Want to learn to row? Now's your chance!
In sculling, each rower uses two oars. In sweep rowing, each rower has one oar.
Note: The class is taught over a span of four days, but I didn't want to clutter the calendar. This is the third offering of 2008.
More info. Register now, classes fill quickly!
