Gothenburg rowing

Are you interested in rowing with us in our ship’s boats?

 We will participate in the newly established, Göteborgsrodden/ Gothenburg rowing, on August 31st during the Göteborg Culture Festival. The initiative comes from the West Coast Wooden Boat Association, and the idéa originally comes from Hasselörodden in Västervik.

Gothenburg rowing

The rowing event will start outside Klippans Ångbåtsbrygga at 11:00 AM, but our ship boats will join the ship on the way towards Rosenlund. We will row in a group through the Rosenlund Canal, continue through the Stora Hamn Canal, out into the Göta River at Stenpiren, and back to Klippan. There will be a break on the grass on the south slope between Viktoriabron and Vasabron (opposite Pedagogen). The distance is approximately 5.7 nautical miles, and the total time in the boat is estimated to be around 4 hours. Since we have registered both our ship’s boats, Mathias and Martin, for this event, we are now wondering if anyone would like to join and row?

As a member of the Friends Association, previous volunteer or deckhand gets you priority to register for the rowing event.

Brief Info:

We will meet at our home pier in Eriksberg at 10:00 AM to go through and prepare the ship boats together, distribute life jackets and historical clothes, and we will also go over the different commands for rowing and how it works with the steering oars before we set off.

Keep in mind that the oars are heavy, and you need to be in reasonably good physical shape to row the entire way. You also need to be able to swim and understand Swedish or English.

Does this sound interesting? We need 16 rowers; it's first come, first served. Send an email to sailing@gotheborg.se with your expression of interest. Name the email "Göteborgsrodden."
