1001 Boats: Rowing boats

Friday, 18 February 2011

Rowing boats

"Form follows function" was the guiding principal behind the modernist movement as practised by the great designers and architects of the early 20th century.

But the fact is that traditional boat builders had understood that principal for centuries and it was perhaps reflected best in rowing craft which had to be fast, easily driven, carry a heavy load while at the same time be safe and stable.

Above is a delightful boat from the English west country, you can look at those lines and know she will run cleanly through the water, yet she's able enough for the sometimes choppy waters of the estuary where she was built to work.

Closer to home this slightly neglected yacht tender resembles a local punt or working boat; stable and designed to carry a heavy load.

It an amazing game with so much strategy involved and skill. It makes for a very exciting time. I think (that the reason why is it an attractive game.

The former Governor of the Kalmykia Province meets a lot of powerful people in his capacity as President of the Chess Federation and this is beneficial to his business.

Hence it is long period of time. When one crosses certain phase of life, one understands that more care should be necessary to buy dental hygiene products online , when one is facing the dental issues. While it is true that all the five elements are essential for life in universe, there is a lot being said and done in view of air and water.

Months later, we asked Alles about doing a follow up piece. He smiled sheepishly and shook his head. He told us the published sector stats had landed him in hot water with NYPD brass and that we would have to go through the Deputy Commissioner for Public Information (DCPI) at police headquarters if we wanted more sector stats (tags: Coach Outlet Store Online , Michael Kors Bags Sale, Coach Outlet Store, MK Outlet).

We want to create a collection of 1001 Boats.

1001 Boats which inspire, boats which fascinate, boats which captured the imagination of a small boy, boats which carry grown men to adventure, boats which are too important to be forgotten, boats which are beautiful, boats which are significant.

Perhaps not 1001 Boats which you really need to “see before you die,” which was the inspiration for this blog, but your favourite boats, boats which are important to you.

They can be boats you have built, boats you have sailed, or boats which you just plain admire.

Please email photographs and text which reveal a little of the story behind the boat and why it’s important to you.

Email me -

Thanks the Bursledon Blogger

Please Donate to our Charities

Two charities have been selected which deal with fundamental human problems clean water and curing cancer.

Access to clean water continues to be a problem for millions of people around the world.

“Unsafe water and a lack of basic sanitation cause 80% of all disease and kill more people than all forms of violence, including war.”

Let’s try and change that and help prevent the deaths of 4000 children who die every day through lack of clean water.

To Donate please go to Water Aid

Cancer continues to be one of the major killer’s.

It’s difficult to find anyone who doesn’t have family, friends or colleagues who have been touched by the disease. While remarkable progress has been made in the treatment of cancer there is still a long way to go. Helping to fund research is a way we can all contribute to this giant undertaking.

To Donate please go to Cancer Research

Please email photographs and text which reveal a little of the story behind the boat and why it’s important to you.

It’s important to say that you must own copy write to any photographs, pictures and words which you send.

If you would like to get more involved we are seeking contributing authors who post regular items - please email if you would like to get involved.

Our aim is to have an interesting and extensive blog of boats which people can enjoy. If you like the blog then please use the links and to donate directly to two nominated charities.

The most important part of all of this is the boats, so here’s the call to fellow bloggers, followers or anyone who has an interest, “there really is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats."

All words and photographs published on 1001 Boats are subject to copy write either of 1001 Boats or the original owner who has authorised their use. They may not be reproduced elsewhere in any form or medium.
