"I totally forget I can't see when I am on the water"

Kate Lindgen has been rowing with Peterborough City Rowing Club for seven years.

In this interview she talks about the sense of freedom and independence she gets from being on the water.

 

Kate, along with her coach Pete Forrest and support from the club, have been instrumental in helping to change VI accessibility, and now partner with British Rowing’s charitable foundation Love Rowing, who fund CamSight’s VI rowing sessions once a month. 

 

In the video we see her out on a rowing boat with coach Pete, in a two man rowing boat. Then the pair sit alongside the boarding pontoon as she talks to the camera about her experiences over the past seven years.

The weather is overcast and there are other boats on the lake.
