Jeppe Boats and Blades (JBB) are excited to announce that the Jeppe Rowing community has paid for one of the 4’s we acquired for the Rowing Club.

This is the first boat in the fleet that has been paid for through collective contributions. At R40,000 (R10,000 a seat) this is a significant achievement and makes a positive impact on the overall payment of the fleet.  The community are now also well on the way to paying for the first seat of a pair (silver seat shown on the boat barometer).

We are grateful for your continued support and in recognition of this, we are opening up the naming of the 4.

We are calling on suggestions of a suitable name for the boat. In keeping with tradition, boats are often named after blades, but should you want to submit alternative names, these will be considered.

Please send your suggestions to trust@jeppeboatsandblades.co.za. We will collate them and present a selection of these back to you to vote on.

This is a great way to engage with Jeppe Rowing and we look forward to your proposed names.

Should you want to find out more about what we are about and how to get involved please contact us on the same email address or visit the website https://jeppeboatsandblades.co.za.

Thanks,

Greg
