Boats dont break down.The best way to move it is to row it.
Then they are getting practise for the next race.

Does that include agraphia Ian, or was I erroneous in that assumption.

Well Mr Beedon,unless my spelling has been eroneous for all these years,we appear to be two countries separated by common language disorders.

I continue to learn from the conversations taking place in Mr. Coopper's galleries.

A dinghy uses oars. a racing boat uses blades. but both (either) are used for rowing, so thats English 1, American 0.

In American English (the best kind), the word "oarlock" refers to the device that holds an oar in place. We live in two countries separated by a common language.

Dave, not sure if you are a rowing literate person so I will explain. They are called rowlocks, and that is pronounced rollocks. Which is of course a great source of hilarity to anybody with a low sense of humour.

Maybe the oarlocks have been removed.
