- An eight is a rowing boat used in the sport of competitive rowing. It is designed for eight rowers, who propel the boat with sweep oars, and is steered by a coxswain, or "cox".

 

Each of the eight rowers has one oar. There are four rowers on the port side (rower's right hand side) and four on the starboard side (rower's lefthand side). The cox steers the boat using a rudder and is normally seated at the stern of the boat.

 

- Rowing club De Compagnie was founded in 2007. Club- and boathouse are at the bank of the canal 'Hoogeveense Vaart' in Nijstad, near Hoogeveen, Drenthe, The Netherlands.

 

- De Hoogeveense Roeivereniging De Compagnie is opgericht in 2007. Het clubgebouw en de botenloods bevinden zich meteen achter de brug tussen Nijstad en Echten, langs de Hoogeveense Vaart.
