Not any more, but I used to be. I was heavily into rowing in my 20s and raced amateur regattas and 'Head of the River' time-trials in single sculls, doubles, coxed fours and eights. The only pic I can find is one following a double-sculls race which was the boat in which I had the most success. (Full boatie points from me if you know a double from a pair.)

I also used to own an old Fletcher Arrowflyte 14'... it was battered, tatty as hell and everyone took the piss - but it was fitted with a 2-stroke Evinrude 70 which made it move like a stabbed rat. Great fun!

Double - two rowers with two oares each
Pair - two rowers with one oar each

I should know, I was Clerk of the Course at the Hemingfords' Regatta for some years. However unlike the same title for horse or car racing you don't get to see any action -- it's a purely clerical job performed in the back of a tent. Only race I would see was the last of the day because by then there was no more paperwork.

Norway is a country with a long coastline and a lot of islands, 239.057 in total. So having access to about was crucial back in the days. Today recreational cruising among the small islands can be a breathtaking and beautiful activity.

I've been a life long sailor. Current boat, ignore the weeds (milfoil, an invasive species on our lake).

What a beauty👍

A brief visit to the Isle of Staffa and Fingal's Cave https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fingal's_Cave

To many tourists around to take the rib in unfortunately.
