Coastal Rowing and Touring Australia Inc is a sports club located in Brisbane, Australia. The club is dedicated to promoting and developing the sport of coastal rowing, which is an internationally endorsed sport by FISA, the world rowing body. Coastal rowing is a challenging and exciting sport that offers a unique rowing experience compared to traditional flat-water rowing.
Coastal rowing takes place on rough water, such as the sea, which adds a whole new dimension to the sport. Many coastal rowers enjoy the exhilarating aspect of rowing in waves and choppy conditions, as well as the interaction with other boats during races. The boats used in coastal rowing come in singles, doubles, and quadruple sculls, providing options for rowers of all skill levels.
Whether you are an experienced rower looking for a new and exciting challenge or someone new to the sport, Coastal Rowing and Touring Australia Inc is eager to help you get started. The transition from flat-water rowing to coastal rowing is seamless for those who already have rowing experience, while beginners can easily learn the sport due to the boats' stability.
As an internationally recognised sport, coastal rowing is being promoted as a future Olympic discipline. Rowing Australia is actively working to grow the sport and prepare crews for national and international competitions. Coastal Rowing and Touring Australia Inc is aligned with this mission and provides opportunities for rowers to compete at various levels.
The club has bases in Brisbane and Townsville, offering convenient locations for rowers in Queensland. They have a strong community and are passionate about helping individuals start their coastal rowing journey. The club's website provides valuable information about the sport, including the history and safety aspects of coastal rowing.
