OAR ?

Something is wrong with this drawing. From the angle of their bodies and arms it looks like they are all rowing port.


Huh?
There are eight men rowing, four each side.

Yes but their bodies - torsos and arms - are all exactly parallel. The guys on port should be twisted just a hair to one side, and those rowing starboard should be twisted just slightly to the other side.

I also don't understand why the coxswain is standing up. But it's a beautiful picture.

Team rowing do NOT twist one way or the other since this can offset the boat by the weight of the various members of the team and increase friction.

Oh okay Tom.

Let me get this straight - you have used a kayak so you know about team rowing?
