How this list was compiled

A list of 109 rowing team names written by Wheel of Teams on 2026-10-03 and filed in five groups: rowing puns, eights, fours and sculls, regatta and head race crews, masters and novice crews, and indoor rowing teams. The names are our own suggestions; none was taken from a club, a school, a regatta or a maker of boats or machines, and any match with a real crew is a coincidence. The rowing words the names lean on were looked up on 2026-10-02 in three English Wikipedia articles, text under CC BY-SA 4.0: Glossary of rowing terms (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_rowing_terms), Rowing (sport) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rowing_(sport)) and Indoor rower (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indoor_rower). Compared by script on 2026-10-03 with every other list on this site: no name is repeated. Nothing was checked against a trademark register. Licence: own work
