Thanks Andrew, that explains Doug's inability to understand what team rowing is.

At least I know a thing or two about wallabies

Not as fast as Peinert Dolphin (East coast) or Maas 24 (West Coast). Both open-water boats. But I thought you can carry some gear in an alden, too. But now I don't see the hatch in the photos.

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.

Check out Stroke, Seven, and Six in this boat:

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


The best crews spend a lot of training time on staying exactly in line
in headwinds, for the same aerodynamic benefits as team pursuit
cyclists seek. In a strong tailwind, a good crew will try to maximise
windage, so will deliberately NOT stay in line!
I don't think that's the reason in the original picture though - I
think that's due to the artist.
We can't tell why the coxswain is standing either - that certainly
seems a bit perilous, but maybe there is debris in the floodwater that
he's searching for a safe path through, or they are looking for
someone or something that needs rescuing.

I used to row an 8 and never even thought about aerodynamics, being that the rowers are moving back and forth on slides, and you'd be labeled a dope if you were hanging over the side of the boat for some reason. By necessity, you're lined up behind the rower in front of you, assuming your stroke is not all F-U. Then again, maybe the serious folks are thinking more about aerodynaics. I was on a boat filled with sleepy law students. We were coached, but it wasn't like we were going to the Olympics.

Rowing sweep is great off season exercise for a cyclist -- except for having to get up at zero dark-thirty and go outside in near freezing temperatures. If I were so inclined, I could row to work! http://images.nationalgeographic.com...27_600x450.jpg
Nah. Sweep doesn't require the kind of skill and upper body strength as a single or skulling in general. Sweep is perfect for someone with a lot of leg strength.

The best crews have superlative timing.
