I like these boats, and if you really must, then get one. but I think you should learn from mistakes, namely the ones that make you fall in the river. Makes for a much more accelerated learning process as you need to learn quicker how to row otherwise you are gona be getting wet again. Floaty boats mean that it takes you much longer to learn how to balance a boat (arguably the most important part of rowing). I say give beginners a cheep single scull and let them fall in and learn from mistakes

@JOHartmusic I see you're from the school of hard knocks! Perhaps some individuals might learn from falling in. e.g. How to fall in. But for each person seen returning to the boathouse wringing wet there'll be at least 5 who'd be put off ever getting into a single! You must see the bigger picture to encourage sculling. The TS515 scores BIG TIME over, stable, boats because it is fast and not too stable & you can remove the stabilisers & progress with small perceived increase in risk.

cudnt you jsut run your blades along the water when your starting and do smaller strokes. thats what we do

[AhoyBoats]

Yes of course, this is how I learned to scull but it teaches bad habits, namely sculling with your blades on the water and taking short strokes! Remember it is not practice that makes perfect it is PERFECT PRACTICE that makes perfect. One needs to learn to scull with one's blades just off the water the whole time and to take long strokes. At each end of each stroke the hands are well separated and it's difficult for novices to execute the feathering and squaring well in an unstable boat.

@stevel899 are they any good in water thats a litle choppy?

Looks like a great boat for a novice who isn't really concerned with racing. They can get out there and have fun without the fear of tipping. I like how easy the riggers come off.

This is an absolutly brilliant boat. Robust, light and easy to move around. I learnt with it. The pontoons allow you to develop a good stroke without falling out all the time. With the pontoons off the boat rolls a little to help you keep track of your technique. You see lots of scullers with short strokes running the blades on the water, this is more to keep them in the boat rather than to make the boat go fast or to have fun. Don't do it, learn properly. Get a good boat and a coach.

We have these boats at our club, and they have been treated pretty roughly, but they still work fine, they are very easy to row and very comfortable, the rigger and storage designs are amazing
