Coastal and offshore rowing

Coastal and offshore rowing is a rowing sport performed at sea. In North America, this sport is often called open water rowing.

Not to be confused with ocean rowing which involves crossing entire oceans.

Due to conditions at sea, coastal and offshore rowers may face difficult circumstances compared to river or lake rowers. To withstand it the boats usually are wider and more robust.
