More info:

I am an experienced rower from Denmark, who has just moved to Tromsø. Unfortunately, Tromsø is missing a rowing club, so I will start Tromsø Roklubb.

I am already in contact with the Norwegian Rowing Federation (roing.no), which helps me to acquire used rowing boats for the club. We already have 3 old wooden rowing boats.

I know how to repair wooden rowing boats, so I can restore the old boats myself. Training in the traditional craft techniques behind the construction and repair of rowing boats will be an activity in the new club.

However, we lack a boathouse. I am in contact with the municipality of Tromsø on the possibility to rent a boathouse. The more rowers we are, the easier it will be to get the municipality to help. If you are interested, write to:

A little about me: I am 31 years old and have rowed since I was 14. I am educated as a rowing  instructor (2000) and long-distance cox (2001) through the Danish Rowing Federation (roning.dk). Over the years I have trained hundreds of rowers. Now I will train new rowers in Tromsø.
