Hello again Reader
If you’ve ever wondered how your experience of masters rowing compares with others in different countries or at another club, we have some insights to share.
The State of Masters Rowing 2023 report is published. We surveyed our newsletter subscribers and members of the Masters Rowing International Facebook Group and wrote this report. More detail below.
Get coached by Sanita Puspure
The electric and amazing Sanita Puspure, Irish international sculler, is now coaching masters. She told me that she’s at a change point in her rowing career and is keen to work with masters rowers via remote coaching. I was delighted because this proves how much masters rowing has grown in stature around the elite rowing world.
Details below on how to get in touch and her pricing.
Onwards to the weekend!

Boathouse Chat for the Weekend
Our club is interested in what parameters your clubs use for winter rowing. A few of us row doubles when temperatures are above 40 and winds are low. Curious what other clubs do.
Our sport is growing – fast. Last year we surveyed masters rowers about what it’s like for them. Your generosity sharing means we can draw a picture of masters rowing around the world.
Club Boards and Committees need to read this report because the changes in masters will affect what they offer to members, how they purchase the club equipment and provide coaching (please forward).
If you want to see how other masters row, frequency, types of training, racing and camps, read on.
Rowing Federations need a strategy for masters rowing
Federations need to plan for significant changes in masters participation over the coming years.
We predict annual increases in over 40s starting learn to row classes of 2-5% each year.
Many of these new rowers will join clubs
Most masters continue in the sport for ten years or more.
The consequences of this are pressure on club size, equipment availability, coaching resource and club finances.
The opportunity this presents is increased revenues, growing participation and high profile for rowing as a proactive, friendly and age-agnostic sport.
