Re: [youthrowing] Safety, Rowing and PFD's

Folks:

       We train all youth aned adult sculling beginners in quads.  They are then transitioned into rec style boats.  With this degree of stability and flotations we do not feel that jackets are needed since a launch is nearby at all times.  Lifejackets would be very difficult to wear in such a situation in any case.  An ordinary row boat is a different thing and jackets could be used with no real loss in mobility.
