Lechlade with new boat, paddles and a rudder

We hit the water with great excitement and that was just because our new boat is so much lighter than our last, it was not so much of an expedition just getting to the river. We had been told that the boat was very stable so jumped in and found out that we did not share the definition of stability. We got about 30 yards and felt the rudder was not very straight, Will turned round to check it and we both fell in, swam to the side and looked forward to the remaining 1:59 of our training session. Although we were a little bit cold and damp we had a good session, 1:50 10.84km including swimming!
