Rowing

The manual provides concise, novice-focused instruction in rowing, opening with recommended boat and oar dimensions and progressing through posture, foot placement, hand grip, body swing, stroke phases, feathering, and recovery. It presents step-by-step drills and clear corrective advice to prevent common faults such as back bending or improper reach. Coaching notes and technical annotations clarify timing and coordinated movements, while illustrated photographic plates and contributions from experienced oarsmen supplement the practical guidance for training and competitive preparation.
