TLYC Rowing Program
 
The Taal Lake Yacht Club officially started its rowing program on April 1 2001.  

GOALS  
The goal of the program is to increase awareness of this environmentally friendly sport that badly needs to be rejuvinated in the Philippines.  
The Manila Boat Club (MBC), The Amateur Rowing Association of the Philippines (ARAP) , and TLYC, are working together to accomplish this.  

ENTRY FEES 
Non-members pay P100/person/day entry to TLYC,  in addition to any rental fees.  Entry is free to members  

TRAINER  
ARAP and MBC are currently lending their help to the program by supporting a trainer at TLYC. Benny is based in Manila, but he does have a cellphone. 

Regular training
I am trying to establish a schedule for Benny, the trainer of the national team. I am targeting the first Saturday of every month, and the third Sunday.  On these days, it will only cost P100/person to row.
 

 
  

EQUIPMENT  
Sculls 
Sculls are boats with 2 oars per person. A single scull is pictured directly above. The rower sits on top of the hull, rather than in it, on a sliding seat very similar to a standard gym rowing machine.  There are Singles- one person , Doubles- two people, and Quads- four people. 

Training sculls  
ARAP has also donated 2 training boxes to TLYC. We have mounted one on a surfboard which acts as a much more stable platform than a scull. The cost is the same as our Single Kayaks, P500/day, or P300 per hour.  

Single sculls   
TLYC  has 2 single sculls. These are available to qualified individuals or groups. cost is the same as our 2 man Kayaks, P800/day, or p400/hour.  
 
Fours and Pairs 
These boats are what are commonly called "college crew" boats. Each rower handles one oar, and the boats are usually a bit more stable than the sculls.   P800/day, or p400/hour. 

Heavy four 
TLYC has the use of a heavy four that belongs to ARAP. It is pictured below, in use by the ADB rowing club on a TLYC outing.  P800/day, or p400/hour. 

Cox
You are expected to provide your own cox. However, if you need to use one of our people, you can. 
 

 

Policies  
All equipment must be signed out beforehand, and lifejackets are included in the rental price. Anyone renting any of our boating equipment must wear a lifejacket. Any equipment breakage is for the renters account so do not exceed the level of your expertise, and take care when returning the boats to shore.
