Admittedly, I know virtually nothing about rowing. When making up this quiz, I had to research every single question. As for the comments after the right answers are given, at times I provide some more information, but many other times I try to make a humorous comment or provide some other random, related by a stretch comment. I hope you enjoy this quiz. Hopefully, you won't find yourself up a creek without a paddle! Wait a minute, that is more about CANOES! Oh well, good luck!
