Thanks for explaining that. It definately does not exist here in Germany.

I could image it being quite a comptitive group - 150lbs is not that much, especially for someone over average height and with a few muscles; most female rowers would be over that weight in spite of being very lean.

In rowing it is the small people who are considered to have a natural disadvantage (shorter limbs, no muscle), hence there being a lightweight catagory in higher level competition.

Do you have to weigh-in before competitions?
