Demos
Evergreen Rowing maintains one of each model of Maas boat for demonstration purposes, including the new Winged Aero. These boats may be used here in Tacoma, or for your convenience we can bring them to your site. Demo rows are for experienced scullers. If you are a beginner, then let’s set up a coaching session rather than a demo row.
Boat Transportation
Are you buying or selling a used boat you need delivered? Going to a race? Sending a boat to the factory for repairs? Relocating? Evergreen Rowing can provide transportation for your single or double with our safe, secure (but small!) trailer. Boat transport along the I-5 corridor between Canada and Ashland, Oregon is our niche. We seldom go East beyond Idaho. We charge $200 to transport a single shell to/from Everett in the north and Olympia in the south and as far east as Moses Lake. The fee is $250 to/from Bellingham-San Juan Islands-Portland. Trips as far as Spokane-Sandpoint cost $280. Trips outside of Washington are mileage dependent and will be quoted upon inquiry.
Shell transport beyond our delivery area should be arranged with a commercial shell transport service. We strongly suggest you NOT rely on an LTL common carrier, as they too often break fragile shells. One reliable carrier with whom we work is KAS Transport. KAS runs trailers around the nation. They can be reached at 315-538-9627 or kastransport@earthlink.net.
Coaching and Learn-to-Row
We strongly advise you to find and join a local rowing club, most of whom have learn-to-row programs in addition to coaching for experienced rowers. However, if you would like a limited number of private lessons in Olympia to get you started, we can provide them as our schedule permits.
Coaching sessions are scheduled by appointment on week days, week day evenings or weekends. The content may include classroom, ergometer, videotape and on-water sessions. We will provide all equipment or work with your boat and oars. Coaching costs $75 per student per 2-hour session, or you may purchase 4 lessons for $250.
Hours of Operation
We meet customers by appointment only. We do not have a showroom or retail store. We are available 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday (closed Sundays)… unless we’re on the water, delivering a boat or driving to the factory!
Don’t hesitate to contact us by phone or email any day of the week, though Sunday mornings are a family time. If we’re not on the water, we’re reachable by phone and email. Phone calls are welcome until 9:00 p.m. We look forward to helping you get on the water in your own Maas rowing shell.
