We also have a Maas24, an Alden and a Wintech for singles along with two doubles for more experienced rowers too. Before taking a single out for the first time you will be met by a coach or an experienced rowing member.
There are 6 Kayaks available to use. Before taking a kayak out for the first time you will be met by an experienced kayak member or coach to get cleared.

How do members get together?
Canal Dock uses the GroupMe app to make plans to get out on the water or erg together.
