Its final southern Illinois journey

This morning we bid adieu to our friend Ellen, and then it was off to Chattanooga for this rowing shell (and a pair of oars). I found a buyer and will meet him in a parking lot and exchange these items for cold, hard cash. Future issues and repairs are no longer my concern. (I still have one boat for sculling.)

Edit. A few comments on how long this shell is. It’s 26 feet long (or so). Weighs less than 35 pounds. Here is a better shot of how this looks on top of my car.

Safe journey. I never realized how long and slender these were.

@randystreat This one is about 26½-feet long … and weighs about 35 pounds. Not much to it in terms of material, but very cleverly designed and built! Some of these shots show a bit of what's “under the hood”: https://365project.org/tags/coffey

You would have to be careful with that length on your car roof top!

Yikes is that long

It’s very long!

Glad it's found a new home!
