It is also more easily and quickly learnt than Olympic rowing, probably due to the stability and robustness of coastal rowing equipment.

Crews must be aware of tides and currents, learn about the course's topography and know what to do in the midst of maritime traffic and in case of bad weather. Rowers should be able to swim at least 25 metres and always have a life jacket at hand.
