Access to a 2x in Boston
Access to a 2x in Boston
Hi there. I'm in Boston for my son's graduation from Northeastern (where he rowed) and on our bucket list is rowing together on the Charles. If anyone has any ideas they can share about where to rent/borrow a 2x (does not need to be a fancy racing shell, and may be better if it isn't) for Wednesday or Thursday morning (May 11, 12) or a private coach who has access and will supervise us, I'd be much obliged. I've tried Cambridge and Union with no luck, and no reply from CRI. I suspect there's not much upside for clubs renting (let alone to an out of towner) so I suspect our best bet would be a coach or someone taking pity on us. Thanks.

If NU doesn't have a coach/shell for you, ask the coaches there if they can make inquiries on your behalf with CRI, et al.

Yeah, it doesn't seem like they have many 2x's. If any. And they're training for Sprints.Rocket-Sauce wrote:Did you try Northeastern?

It looks like you can request a private session with CRI, which I've done. Son doesn't seem to want to bug the coaches this week (Sprints).fullmetal wrote:If NU doesn't have a coach/shell for you, ask the coaches there if they can make inquiries on your behalf with CRI, et al.
Thanks for the replies.
