Companha Feminina de Bote Baleeiro Independente was founded to keep the Azorean rowing tradition alive, promoting inclusion, respect and team spirit.
The whaleboat is part of the living cultural heritage of the Azores. Rowing celebrates the past, embraces the present and shapes the future.
We act with openness and honesty in everything we do.
We welcome all women, regardless of age, experience or background.
We promote equal opportunities and mutual respect.
We are a group of women passionate about the sea, Azorean culture and whaleboat rowing.
Our crew is independent and open to all women who want to learn, row, develop their skills and compete in a healthy, supportive environment.
We value the journey, team spirit and the preservation of our traditions above results.
