    The racing in this video was awesome, great job on the third! But wow, the rest of that, seeing all those damaged boats just hurts my soul, I hope that the repairs won't be too overly difficult

      The racing was great!
      Unfortunately I think all the boats damaged will need replaced rather than repaired!

    Trim looking great. First time seeing a boat being cleaned with a polisher/buffer, over here we use citric acid diluted with water - it works a charm but might have to give the buffer a go after seeing that towel fly on the boat!

    Apocolypto! The hail-boulder damage to boats and vehicles was truly shocking. Positive memories, "hailed" for a lifetime! Glad no one was hurt. Loving the longer vlogs too 👌

    Just when I thought you could be up for a win by reducing the drag factor on yer head along comes some hail-bricks. Really sad to see so much damage to all those top boats but in particular to Yambulance and Yamborgininameyettobedetermined (Hudson must love you!!!). Anyway, all these things can be put right as what counts is everyone seemed okay. Looking forward to the next episode as your luck has got to change soon!😎

    Blimey those hailstones were hailrocks! Gutted for you not to be able to row the final and to complete that chapter of the Eurotrip. Another brilliant group of people around you, great to see. Happy to donate. Have you thought of crowdfunding any costs you have as a result of such a freak event?

    • @CameronBuchan
      @CameronBuchan  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Certainly the biggest hail I've ever seen! Amazing group indeed!
      Costs for me. They have been minimal compared to the hundreds of thousands of damage to the clubs boats so I didn't set anything up.

    I seen a couple of young girl rowers at Strathclyde park washing their boats on Monday so there must be some sort of science behind the cleaning magician protocol you’ve implemented (when a girl does something it’s usually for a reason)

      Around 3/4 slide for the first stroke. Every crew is a little different but usually won't start at full slide

    • @CameronBuchan
      @CameronBuchan  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Not necessarily more power but quicker power and also you want to get the boat moving. Imagine an old steam engine building its speed with quicker shorter pushes

    I saw what happened on your Instagram I was just wondering was it covered by insurance because they could put it down to recklessness which really is not true
    P.s. My club got a new 8, it is a long time coming as the previous newest 8 was made in 1997.The naming ceremony is on the 25th any ideas for a name?

      It should be but with so many boats damaged and clubs involved I don't know how much the insurance company will pay out!
