You can transport boats by plane, but it might require a change to your travel budget:

As has been noted, Empacher seems to have dominated the boat selection in the regatta. It seemed that Concept 2 also dominated in the oar selection. I only saw only one crew, the University of Washington women 8+, using Croker blades. I certainly did not see entry crew, but it seemed that C2 was in ...

HOT:
They (Purdue) have commendable depth in the eights.

Just read that both men's and woman's V1 eights return 6 rowers for next year.

This plan seems to be horrible for rowing and other water sports. The building will consume a significant part of the island which is already too small to allow for larger events comfortably. The boathouse will have the capacity of 24 boats. This will barely contain the boats that are already at the...

Adirondack make nice boats, and this one looks very nice. This is a rowboat as opposed to a rowing boat. A rowing boat uses the legs for the vast majority of the force applied.

Here is the video on YouTube for those who cannot see it in the initial link. Below is a map of the river showing the point of the incident as a red dot toward the bottom and the location of the city boathouse at the top with a green dot. The mouth of the river is just a couple hundred metes to the...

Not:

This moderately interesting article, The Rower Turned Engineer Who Helped Make Nvidia a $3 Trillion Company, has a short profile of Jonah Alben. It relates his experience of being a coxswain at Stanford as being a reason for his success at Nvdia.
