He certainly couldn't reach top speed one handed. I suppose max speed could only be reached with two rowers. <BR/>I'd like to discover more about the polbeiro but won't be writing about it or the scnooer for the moment. I'm away working and fairly short of time.

He couldn't get any speed up with one hand though, or could he?<BR/>Love the anchor. Functional but stylish.Chris Partridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14883064324795042491noreply@blogger.com
