Rowing at Grasshopper Club Zürich

So I'm looking for a rowing club in Zürich, and I've heard that Grasshopper is the biggest, best etc and have looked at their website, but does anyone have any personal experience training and/or racing with them? I'm looking to get the inside line before I make my decision, so any anecdotes would be most appreciated...

Re: Rowing at Grasshopper Club Zürich

I'm a masters sculler there. They are a friendly bunch with many "occassionals" who form their own groups. But there also the daily regulars including some very fast open lwt and hwts. The equipment is first rate and they have been very accomodating to my preference to single (although I do go down on Sats to train with the main group of masters - sculling the 8X is always great fun).
