What is masters rowing?
A rower may compete as a Masters rower from the beginning of the year during which he or she turns 27. Masters rowers are then placed in categories A-J, A being an average of 27 years or over, and J being an average of 80 years or over. Dependent on the age they turn that year, the Masters rower will then compete against others with the same average age in the respective category. The average and minimum age of a crew competing excludes that of the coxswain. The aim of a Masters rower can be to compete at the World Rowing Masters Regatta. Master rowers can be former elite rowers, or absolute beginners who only began rowing aged 27 or above.
Masters rowing also focuses on the health and fitness benefits of rowing, socializing and forming friendships.
