Excessive sweating

I'm 64, retired and I've just had a quick medical prior to recommencing rowing for the new season. I've rowed 3 times/week for the last 2 years and on and off all my life before that. I'm 6'2" and 235lbs (1.88m and 107kg) and my heart beat is 54 and my blood pressure is 125/75 - which I'm happy with. The trouble is it doesn't take much to make me perspire.. Is this an overweight issue or something else?  
Many thanks
Geoff

We normally row up-river about 7k (in one piece) - stop for 5 mins - and then return..
I'd say it was a leisure row but we do put in bursts of hard rowing now and again.
I generally drink the best part of a litre of water as well.

Do you drink water during your row and is it a leasure row or a cardio row? either way my thought it's just that you perspire faster. I wouldn't worry
