Here's food for thought - the reason we want an Oar Club:

"The Oar Club is dedicated to those who sail and appreciate the beauty inherent in sailing. The oar Club is dedicated as well to promoting the skill, character, and seamanship displayed by those who sail in its traditional fashion--without the aid of engines. The Oar club affirms the rigors of true sailing--the attentiveness they demand and the strength they contest--as rewards: This is what makes the experience meaningful. We cannot imagine demeaning our experience by making it trivial or common. That does not mean that we demand that we cross oceans (though some do) or rashly brave storms (though some have) bur rather that we do what we do, in a manner real and meaningful, and eschew that which is not. Perhaps fifty percent of seamanship occurs within fifty feet of a dock..." - J. Fitzgerald
