Hoisting it off the car, weaving through the other cars in the lot when the park is busy, weaving through all the other park visitors without bonking anyone in the head, stopping to answer 15 questions from 10 different onlookers, getting it to the water before realizing you left the seat at home. But lifting? Got it.
Best solution for carrying any rowing shell. BE SMART... its a ton of money to buy a shell, and worse when ya pops a hole in it being in a rush to get it on the water. Always, always error on the side of caution. GET SOME HELP.... Sure, you can do it alone, but why risk needless scratches and worse pop a hole in the hull. It doesn't cost ya a dime to ask for assistance, but it costs ya time and money to fix a hole or repair a huge needless scratch. I've seen a gust of wind topple over a person carrying a single and a double. Wet, slippery, and gone. Doink off the ground, pavement, stones. Bow kinked up, fin twisted off. Sure does look simple when everything works perfect. But boy oh boy those bad days can be costly.
thank you so much, i hope it will be helpfull. for now i will rather ask someone to help me for now, but in a couple months i hope i will learn how to move it safely.
Just learning to row a single and because I'm short, it's a struggle. My coach told me I should not carry it at my waist, even though that's by far the easiest and most stable way for me to do it. Any thoughts on that?

Super helpful, thanks for taking the time to demonstrate what I imagine is a neglected but important topic
Great explanation and reasoning behind the why of movements
Thank you so much. But how do i put a closet rigger into the water as i see you stand in the triangle when lifting/carrying it

Iam only 5,10 so carried it on my head and sculls in my other hand
It's most comfortable for me to carry it on my elbow
Nice Scooby
