Picking up Oars & Shells
We picked up our first set of sweep hatchet oars in Sioux Falls, SD off the Lake Union Crew (Seattle, WA) shell trailer headed to Boston for the Head of the Charles Regatta. The oars were sold to us by the University of Puget Sound Crew.
We did a 2,800+ mile round trip to Charlotte, NC, and back to pick up the Shell Trailer and our first eight. The trailer and eight were sold to us by Dr. Byron Walthall, Head Coach of Charlotte Youth Rowing at Stratford Richardson YMCA in Charlotte, NC (http://eteamz.active.com/CharlotteYouthRowing/index.cfm).
The rec double and single sculls were sold to us by Peter Stramese of Alexandria Community Rowing in Alexandria, VA. Christine Deatrick, Crew Coach of the Stetson University in DeLand, FL picked the two sculls from Alexandria and transported them to Dad-Vail Regatta in Philadelphia. The Schoenbrod was given to us for free by Rachel Hawes of the St. Mary's University in MD and Allison McNickle of the Johns Hopkins University Crew transported it to Dad-Vail Regatta in Philadelphia. The University of Minnesota Mens Crew (arranged by Coach Ed Podnieks) transported the three shells from Philadelphia to Minneapolis where we finally picked them up from.
Our most recent acquisitions have been three sectional Schoenbrod Collegiate Eight hulls + 16 macon sweep oars donated to us by Matt Hopkins of Niskayuna Rowing (http://niskyrowing.org/) in Niskayuna, NY and 16 hatchet sweep oars donated to us by Previn Chandraratna, Head Coach and Program Director of Row New York (http://www.rownewyork.org/) in Long Island City. Members of the NDSU Rowing Club - Brian Fier, Spencer Cheever, Ashley Browen and Andrew Haataja did a 3,000+ mile round trip to bring back the above rowing equipment from NY State to ND.
