Single Scull
My first day out- Muskingum River Marietta, Ohio.
This is my beautiful German shell, ELISHA, built in the late '40s or early 1950s. It was rebuilt in Philadelphia in the early 1970s with new stainless steel riggers, oarlocks, decks, foot stretchers, added rib supports and a Stampfli seat. The oars shown here are Stampfli 296s.
I purchased this boat from Ralph Lindamood, longtime coach of Marietta College, in the late 1970s. Ralph's son Norm used this quite a bit and won several medals in it. When Norm 'outgrew' the boat Ralph was lending it to college lightweights but was afraid that it would get damaged and offered it to me.
