rowing catamaran rough sea trials

The ROCAT open water rowing catamaran in very rough seas off the south coast of Cornwall. This was an early prototype testing the boat's capabilities in rough conditions - it was blowing about force 7. Unfortunately, there were no other sculling boats out that day to compare performance.

@assenteismopuglia - sorry, I have just seen this and I don't understand. I only have 'to adapt to current official rowing' if I plan to participate in FISA competitions. There are no boats which comply with FISA rules that could have been out that day - this is a new kind of rowing boat - the mountain bike of rowing.
