Rowing and Sculling

The coxswain in a rowing shell gives many standard commands to the rowers during a typical outing on the water. The principal commands are for starting ("Ready all ... row"), stopping ("Way enough"), increasing the rowers' stroke rate (for example, "Up two in two" means to increase the rate by two strokes per minute, starting after the next two strokes), and decreasing the stroke rate (e.g., "Down two in two"). The coxswain (pronounced cox'-un) steers the boat by means of cables attached to a small rudder in the boat's stern. This is normally done without commands (although the cox may let the rowers know when s/he is applying pressure to the rudder by saying something like "Steering to starboard [or port]"). When the rudder is insufficient to avoid a collision, or when negotiating a twisty course on a river, the cox commands the rowers to assist in making the boat turn by saying "Harder on port" and/or "Lighter on starboard" to make the boat turn right, or "Harder on starboard" etc. to turn left. When s/he wants the boat to go straight again, the cox will say "Even pressure."

There are many more commands in the cox'n's standard repertoire, but these are the basic ones. One thing a coxswain pretty much NEVER says is "Stroke! Stroke! Stroke!"

The fastest is 44min

To cross in 55 min:

A and C cross first, C comes back

C and D cross next, D comes back

D and B cross last

Just be thankful that none of them are chickens or foxes

Do you mean the song that's corus is " Row row row your boat, gently down the stream". Then it would be a song.

If done properly for a long enough period of time in absolutely will!

The most people in a rowing boat is 8 not including the cox.

you should go to a gym try the treadmill then the rowing exercise machine and then try going swimming and then get back in your rower and get out there!

A Polish Junior (U18) rowing eight briefly held the world record (set , because of the beneficial conditions at Plodiv in 1999). Steve Redgrave won 5 rowing Olympic golds and a bronze, but what most people don't know is that he also won a silver in bobsleigh world championships. Rowing was the first intercollegiate sport in the USA, started in 1852 by the Harvard - Yale boatrace. It is claimed that rowing a 2 kilometre race is equal to playing back-to-back basketball games

yes but not professionally

the test for coordination is throwing a ball against a wall and catching it , repeat this until time is out. the time you are allowed is 40seconds.

Great for the back/last. Before rowing i could drive 210 after I could drive 260

Hold it and keep rowing!

The reason you need upper body strength in rowing is because it acts as a secondary and tertiary lever, which is when the back swings and the arms pull in to the body completing the stroke. However the most primary and important part of a rowing stroke is the leg drive which is commonly mistaken to be nonexistent. so the legs accelerate and initiate the stroke and then the back and arms continue to accelerate the oar till the stroke is over. More important then upper body strength would be lower body strength.

Rowing isn't usually referred to as a game. Rowing events are more frequently referred to as regattas (or races). There are two main formats for regattas: head races or sprints. The race courses range from a couple thousand meters to several thousand meters in length. The sport of rowing can be compared to that of cross-country and track with the longer races (head races) generally taking place in the fall season and the shorter races (sprints) occurring in the spring. The rules of rowing competition vary depending on whether the event is categorized as a head race or sprint. Head races are simply timed races. Boats row through the starting line one by one and whoever crosses the finish line with the fastest time wins. In a sprint race, however, all the boats in a particular heat line up at the starting line and start from a dead standstill. These races are much more fast paced and intense as the competition is often neck-and-neck all the way across the finish line. The first boat to cross the finish line wins, even if only by a fraction of an inch!

Ive been rowing on sarasota crew and we have a boat named iron women and it was almost 1000 pounds oars weight is atleast 5lbs

Victoria? The state in Australia or the city in British Columbia?

Rowing is physically and mentally challenging. It is the epitome of team sports; everyone must be perfectly in sync with regards to their timing as well as their determination in order to win.

It gives a sense of pride to be one of the few that can take the challenge of rowing.

After all is said and done, to win a race is the best feeling in the world.

From the inside out.

This is an example of 'action' and 'reaction'. Every 'action', like stepping out of the boat on to the shore causes an equal and opposite 'reaction', as the boat moves in the opposite direction. This is also how rockets move in the vacuum of space.

Your 2k time should be 7 minuets 47 seconds

I'll have to disagree with the above answer, if you row a 6k in 22:42, that is a 1:53.5 500m split. If you rowed that same split for 2k that would give you a 7:34 2k (which basically means you did three of those in a row while rowing your 6k). However, since most people can hold a faster pace for 2k than they can for 6k, your 2k should be even less than that.

Using a conversion factor I came up with, I estimate that your 2k should be around, 7:02

repechage ?????

no never do that, that's disgusting

Yes. The blade is glued onto the hollow fiberglass or carbon fiber shaft, and the handgrip is also glued onto the shaft, so there is nowhere for the water to enter unless the oar shaft or seals are broken.
