A rowing oar is made up of several parts. You have the handle, which could be wood (I prefer the grip of this), plastic or rubber. This is for either one or two hands depending on whether it's a sweep blade or a scull blade.

The shaft is usually hollow carbon fibre or some other light materiel, approximately four inches in diameter at the collar (the fitting which allows it to stay still in the gate).

The blade, or the spoon, is of many different shapes. The three basic shapes are the modern hatchet (asymmetric, like a chef's cleaver), old macon (pronounced soft c, classic oar shape) and older pencil (long and thin). They may or may not have a spine running along the spoon in line with the shaft, and they may or may not have hydrodynamic modifications on the end of the spoon to obtain better grip.

The hatchet shape stems from a desire for increased connection and lower slippage. Since the spoon is not moving straight but in an arc, the outer end moves at a different speed to the inner causing slip. The shorter and deeper a blade is the less this occurs.

Being able to row... You gain strong back and thigh muscles. Rowing is a great sport for all around fitness too.

To most accurately measure your 2k rowing time on a Concept 2 erg just set it so that you are only erging for 2,000 meters. Even if you don't stop right away the erg does. Once the meters stop you not only see the time time you ended with but you also see your average and how long it took you. Hope this helped!

Rowing could be an argument between two people. Or it could be the act of using oars to propel a rowing boat across the surface of water.

Row, row row your boat? ;)

A good rowing split can vary based on the rower's experience, fitness level, and the distance being rowed. For competitive athletes, a split time of around 1:30 to 1:50 per 500 meters is often considered strong, while recreational rowers may aim for splits between 2:00 and 2:30 per 500 meters. Ultimately, a good split is relative to individual goals and the context of the rowing workout. Consistent improvement and personal bests are key indicators of progress.

For junior GB rowing trials, specific times can vary each year based on age category and event. Generally, athletes are expected to achieve competitive ergometer times, often around 6:30 to 7:00 minutes for 2,000 meters for boys and slightly slower for girls, depending on the age group. It's essential to check the latest guidelines from British Rowing for the most accurate and current requirements.

Yes, seat placement in a quad is important and can affect the boat's performance. Typically, the stroke seat (the stern) is reserved for the most skilled and powerful rower because they set the rhythm and pace for the crew. The three seat is also crucial, as this rower must match the stroke's timing while providing power. Ultimately, the best seat for each rower depends on their strengths, rowing style, and ability to work with their teammates.

Famous rowers include Sir Matthew Pinsent, a British Olympic gold medalist known for his success in the coxless four, and Steve Redgrave, another British rower who won five consecutive Olympic gold medals.

Additionally, New Zealand's Mahe Drysdale is celebrated for his dominance in single sculls, securing multiple world championships and Olympic titles.

There is sweep rowing where each rower has one oar either to the right or the left, and usually involves fours, eights, or pairs. Both fours and eights have a coxswain. The other type of rowing is sculling in which each rower will have two oars, that are smaller. Sculling boats are normally singles, pairs, and quads.
