About This Book

A comprehensive survey of rowing that blends historical overview with practical instruction, examining the rise of modern oarsmanship and the development of scientific stroke technique. It explains coaching practices, the responsibilities of captain and coxswain, and technological changes such as sliding seats, then treats boat classes (fours, pairs, sculls), boat-building and dimensions, training methods, club organization, amateur and professional distinctions, school rowing, regatta practice, and the laws governing racing. Illustrations and course maps support discussions of tactics, crew selection, and race procedures, with the aim of guiding newcomers while offering detailed guidance for experienced oarsmen on equipment, handling, and the social structures around the sport.
