Following grant aid from the ARA CCDP Portfolio, Upton Rowing Club has recently acquired two new C4 rowing boats. C4 boats are stable, but light, made by Burgashell and available in a coxed quadruple scull which is convertible to coxed (sweep) four. The rigging and seating is the same as a racing rig, but the stable hull allows those new to rowing to develop technique without having to worry about balance.
