‘Hear the Boat Sing’ (HTBS) was founded in March 2009 by Göran R Buckhorn, a Swede living in Mystic, Connecticut. HTBS has a team of writers trying to live up to the HTBS motto: ‘This blog covers all aspects of the rich history of rowing, as a sport, culture phenomena, a life style, and a necessary element to keep your wit and stay sane’.

We try to our best ability to answer readers’ questions on rowing and sculling, and if we feel that the question has an interest for the general reader of HTBS, we will come back to you to ask permission to publish the question and the answer on HTBS.

Views in articles on HTBS are entirely the views of the article writers, and not necessarily those of HTBS.
