  • PRIMER on HOW to SCULL Welcome to the Sport of Rowing Or Sculling
    PRIMER ON HOW TO SCULL Welcome to the sport of rowing or sculling. This is one of the most rewarding and enjoyable of all water sports, as well as being a complete exercise and an efficient means of transportation. However, like any new activity, a little practice is necessary at the start. Perhaps the best way to learn the sport of rowing is to get instructions from an experienced sculler. In the absence of such advice, however, this guide should help you to get started. There are four sections: 1. Carrying the equipment and getting in and out of the boat. 2. Rowing and turning 3. Problems you may encounter and how to correct them. 4. Glossary of terms. Because they are built for speed, rowing boats are narrow, and until you become used to handling them, can tip over easily. You should start only when the water is warm and it is advisable to have another person present to watch out for you and to help with these instructions. You should be a swimmer or wear an approved life vest. If you should capsize, do not leave the boat but rather stay with it and use the boat and/or the oars as a flotation device with which to swim to shore. You should read through the entire text first, then concentrate on the first section. Take your time, relax, and enjoy learning to row. Don't try to row too fast at the beginning; it will probably take a couple of outings before you feel comfortable and can fully enjoy the sport.

  • Between the Ears the Boatie Edition
    Between the Ears Competition Newsletter of the Swanbourne NedlandsSurf Life Saving Club (The race might finish between the flags, but between the ears is where the race is won and lost...and it’s also where the famous red and white cap of Swanny sits…) The Boatie Edition You wouldn’t think it to look at the club these days, but Swanny has historically been a boatie club. Yes, that’s right; our biggest stars, our brightest lights, our most successful champions have mostly been boaties. The U21 crew of 63 was the first WA crew to EVER win a national boat title, and our Reserve boat crew of ’79 is one of only 3 national champions the club has ever had. George “Ken” Jolly, a member of both crews, is the only Swanny member in history with 2 Aussie gold medals. Boaties down at Swanny these days are a rare and endangered species, but even so, there are more boaties still around than people think. For example, who knew that John Garnett was the “A” crew captain for nearly 6 years? Or that Briggy first joined Swanny simply to row surf boats? Ed Jaggard, Gav Pascoe, Kev White and Leavo have all been sweeps, and many of our life members are old boatie die-hards. John Stringfellow, Terry Foley, Jon Broomhall, John Foley, Gary Williamson, Dave Gallagher and Erin Gallagher – the list is a who’s who of Swanny glitterati, committee members and social stalwarts. The list also includes such luminaries as Dan and Ben Jingles, Dan Hazell and current nipper parents Sam van Dongen and Sharon Wyllie (Nee Nelligan).

It is shaped like a gigantic toothpick and is a faded red colour. Engraved upon there are some unlikely names, written in an archaic gothic script. They include “G.A. Reid”, “R.N. Perham”, “A.A. Macintosh”, and the date “1973”. It was once possible to study the artefact itself on the wall of the Senior Bursar's office, during quieter moments of Finance Committee meetings. There is a matching example in the Small Combination Room. These objects are surviving traces of the original Fellows Boat, whose very existence had faded into the realms of myth and legend before the onset of my own chronicle, begun in 1983 and periodically updated ever since.

  • Balance of Racing Rowing Boats
    BALANCE OF RACING ROWING BOATS This article was prepared by Steve Kerr of Furnivall Sculling Club. It is part of the Furnivall Sculling Club Home Page. Furnivall is a rowing and sculling club based on the Tideway in London. Furnivall celebrated its centenary in 1996. "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler." - Albert Einstein Introduction In this article the classic analysis of the static stability of ships is extended in a way that seems to offer some useful insights to rowers in racing boats. The investigation started out as simple curiosity to see what happened when I plugged some numbers for racing boats into standard fluid mechanics theory. The results were unexpected, hence this article. Balance does not get much of a mention in rowing literature. Generally textbooks seem to assume that if everything is kept symmetrical then balance will emerge naturally. The older texts contain the unemphasised assumption that beginners will always start out in wide stable boats and graduate through a progression of finer craft. I suppose coaches did not need to worry about it much in those days as the boatman would normally issue the appropriate kit. This approach has continued, some modern texts, such as the ARA Instructors Handbook, suggest starting off beginner scullers paddling square blades without really discussing what sort of boat is required to do it. I suspect that it is relatively common in clubs today for beginners to be put into fine hand-me-down boats at a relatively early stage, which perhaps makes balance more of an issue than it used to be.

  • Adaptive Rowing Equipment Guidance
    Adaptive Rowing Equipment Guidance Introduction Adaptive Rowing uses equipment that is adapted to enable the individual to take part in the sport. The way people adapt to their disability is an individual process. Two rowers with the same disability may require completely different equipment modifications, so it is important to work with athletes to determine what is optimal to enhance their rowing activity. Personal equipment – something that the rower wears designed to enhance body function such as a prosthetic limb or orthosis . Activity-specific equipment – designed to enhance the performance of an activity or participation in rowing, such as a postural support seat, pontoons, strapping or hand-gloves Boats The following are examples of the types of boats used in Adaptive Rowing. In addition to this, clubs are encouraged to use standard equipment that they have in their boathouse and not allow Adaptive Rowing specific boats to be a barrier to the inclusion of individuals with a disability. British Rowing adopts the FISA Para-Rowing system of classification which places rowers into classes according to how much their impairment impacts their rowing. 1 In addition to this, British Rowing offers Adaptive Rowing classes which is a categorisation for individuals who are not eligible to meet the FISA requirements for Para-Rowing classification. These classes are accepted at competitions that offer Adaptive Rowing events. For further explanation please read the following – Applying for Classification PR3 and AR3 For athletes classified in the PR3 and AR3 category, standard equipment that complies with British Rowing Rules of Racing is generally used. No further restrictions shall apply.

  • The Rowing Shell Racing Boats (Often Called “Shells”) Are Long, Narrow, and Broadly Semi-Circular in Cross- Section in Order to Reduce Drag to a Minimum
    One of the unique aspects of rowing is that novices strive to perfect the same motions as Olympic contenders. Few other sports can make this claim. In figure skating, for instance, the novice practices only simple moves. After years of training, the skater then proceeds to the jumps and spins that make up an elite skater’s program. But the novice rower, from day one, strives to duplicate a motion that he’ll still be doing on the day of the Olympic finals. - Brad Alan Lewis The Rowing Shell Racing boats (often called “shells”) are long, narrow, and broadly semi-circular in cross- section in order to reduce drag to a minimum. They usually have a fin towards the rear, to help prevent roll and yaw and to increase the effectiveness of the rudder. Originally made from wood, shells are now almost always made from a composite material (usually carbon-fibre reinforced plastic) for strength and weight advantages. FISA rules specify minimum weights for each class of boat so that no individual will gain a great advantage from the use of expensive materials or technology. There are several different types of boats. They are classified using the number of rowers (1, 2, 4, or 8) in the boat and the position of the coxswain (coxless, box-coxed, or stern-coxed). With the smaller boats, specialist versions of the shells for sculling can be made lighter. The riggers in sculling apply the forces symmetrically to each side of the boat, whereas in sweep oared racing these forces are staggered alternately along the boat.

  • Rowing Terms and Commands for the Novice Rower and Parents, Understanding What Rowing Is All About First Requires Learning a New Language
    Introduction to Rowing Rowing Terms and Commands For the novice rower and parents, understanding what rowing is all about first requires learning a new language. Fortunately, the vocabulary of rowing is not long and it is in English. Key terms and phrases to know are provided below. Please take some time to become familiar with them. It will quickly enhance your understanding of the sport and your ability to converse knowledgeably about it. The Boat (Shell) There are two types of boats or shells used in rowing, sweep boats and sculling boats. In sweep rowing, each rower uses only one oar. In sculling, the rower used two smaller oars, or sculls. Sweep boats can have two, four, or eight rowers. Sculling boats have one, two, or four rowers. Each boat may or may not include a coxswain, the person who steers the boat. For brevity, each type of racing shell has a specific designation code as follows: NUMBER: How many rowers are in the shell X If there is an X, it means they scull. No X means they sweep. + or - + means there is a coxswain on board. - means there is no coxswain. SINGLE (1X): One rower, no coxswain. PAIR (2-): Two rowers with one oar each. FOUR (4+): Four rowers with one oar each and a coxswain. EIGHT (8+): Eight rowers with one oar each and a coxswain. Each seat in the boat is numbered from the bow to the stern. Coxswains can sit either in the stern or the bow of the boat, depending on how big the shell is and how it is constructed.
