Sunday 22 August 10:30 - Improve Your Rowing Session

[Mark Taylor]

I am running a session to look at improving rowing techniques. This is open to all. So new members and established members are all very welcome. Meet 10:30 at the mill. If interested, please sign below by indicating the sort of areas you are interested in. I will then do my best to try and cover what you want.

The sort of areas I plan to cover are:-
 - Coxing - controlling the boat, understanding navigation marks and understanding commands
 - Power into the water, how to maximise the use of the upper body to give pewerful stroke
 - Feathering - turning the oar on the return stroke to avoid wind resistence

The ethos of the day will be self improvement while having fun. Hopefully, anything learned can be put into practice on excursion rows. Experienced rowers who can assist some of our newer members will be most welcome to join in.

Current weather forecast for Sunday is mixed cloud and sun Force 3 Westerley. HW is 12:30 at 4.5 mtrs.
