Just across the wire: the Florida Rowing Center (FRC) has just posted the boats that will be available for sale at the end of the 2012 winter rowing season.

The idea behind the boat sales list is to encourage rowers to head down to FRC, enjoy some sweet sculling while trying out a variety of shells. Then you can put down a $500 deposit for the shell you want and pick it up or have it shipped to you in May 2012.

For those who are unfamiliar with the Florida Rowing Center, the boathouse is located on Lake Wellington in Wellington, a small village-like community 12 miles west of West Palm Beach, Florida. In case there are any rowers who don't fly in for weekends of caviar, champagne, and wild naked jacuzzi parties, the City of West Palm Beach is 48 miles north of Fort Lauderdale, 70 miles north of Miami, and 180 miles south of Orlando.
