Talk:Eight (rowing)

Rigging
The article states that the stroke is always on port, which is not necessarily the case - boats can be rigged with either a port or starboard stroke. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.37.221.112 (talk) 16:10, 10 August 2010 (UTC)


 * No, it doesn't. It says that "stroke side" is on port.  Stroke may or may not be on stroke side.  For more detail, see Boat positions (sport rowing).  David Biddulph (talk) 16:51, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Overhaul needed?
Has anyone else noticed that all the pages about different rowing boat classes consist of minimal information about the specific boat and then the generic rowing boat paragraph? I think it would be more appropriate to merge all the articles into one, simply named "Fine Racing Boats" or something, with the paragraph about the structure and then a table detailing all the different boat classes?

I'm willing to help orchestrate this but I wanted to get other people's thoughts first. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.90.133.155 (talk) 10:29, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
