* Since I recently moved to Hawaii, a state with little to no rowing (lotsof paddling, though!) I am forced to get my rowing fix on line. Many thanks forputting together such a great rowing site, and particularly for includinginformation about Women's Henley. I competed in the '95 Women's Henley andnever saw a single bit of information on line. Keep up the great work!
