  • 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.

  • Driven by Rower Specific Data and Variable Rigging Setup Master Thesis
    Forward dynamic model for rowing performance; driven by rower specific data and variable rigging setup Master Thesis by J.T. Voordouw to obtain the degree of Master of Science at the Delft University of Technology, to be defended publicly on 30 April 2018 Biomechanical Design Department of Biomechanical Engineering Faculty Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineering Delft University of Technology Student number: 4152689 Thesis committee: Dr. Ir. A. L. Schwab, Supervisor, TU Delft Prof. Dr. Ir. H. Vallery, TU Delft Prof. Dr. Ir. M. Wisse, TU Delft Dr. M. J. Hofmijster, VU Amsterdam Ir. E. Meenhorst, KNRB Abstract Introduction Every crew has its own rowing style and every rower has her own technique. Com- bining rowers with different techniques in one crew is a challenge, but very important, because a crew that rows in better synchrony will perform better. In order to make a crew row in better synchrony, coaches often expect the rowers to adjust their technique into a common stroke of the boat. How- ever, in practice professional rowers are only able to change very few aspects of their technique, they maintain an individual biomechanical fingerprint (rowing signature). To study the influence of the rower behavior on the boat performance, a one-dimensional rowing model is created, based on one rower individual specific stroke. The model is driven with data that is measured in the boat during a (practice) race. It can be validated with the measured boat motions and expected rower motions. Also the influence of the rigging parameters on the rower and boat movements is investigated. Background The rowing stroke is a periodic movement of the rower, the oar and the blade.

  • Sweeps and Sculls
    Rowing Sweeps and Sculls OFFICIAL SERVICE: ATHENS 2004 BEIJING 2008 LONDON 2012 RIO 2016 MISSION AND PHILOSOPHY BRAČA-SPORT® mission and philosophy is to design, develop and produce the best performing scull and sweep oars for every rower and crew. Our scull and sweep oars have been designed using the latest technologies available, inspired by the comments and in collaboration with some of the world’s most successful rowers and coaches. All our product designs are based on the modular platform. BRAČA-SPORT® framework of the separate components forming homogeneous unit has been extensively researched and tested and has been proven to be the very best available method for strength, balance, durability and overall ‘in water’ performance. We were the first to develop a unique blade molding system to protect the internal foam from water penetration and provide extra strength and rigidity to the oar. This exclusive high quality system provides maximum durability and outstanding impact protection in comparison to conventional composite blades which have exposed foam core on the open edge and are vulnerable to damage and the inevitable penetration of water. Our seamless ‘fitted into the shaft’ blade design provides the best possible connection between the blade and the shaft enabling them to work as one homogenous unit. All BRAČA-SPORT® blades meet and exceed current FISA safety standards. As of today BRAČA-SPORT® is still the only oar manufacturer to engineer and produce its own carbon fabrics. This provides the ability to produce a very specific and fine grain unidirectional high modulus carbon (HMC) fabric layers in contrast to what is available in the market.

  • 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).

  • Guidance for Rowers and Canoeists on Shared Waters
    Guidance for Rowers and Canoeists on shared water INTRODUCTION The growth in participation in water sports means that many rowing and canoe clubs and centres have to share the water where they row or canoe and it is important to build good relationships. This advice is published jointly by British Canoeing and British Rowing. Rowing boats and canoes behave very differently. By understanding these differences, and agreeing and following some basic guidelines, rowers and canoeists can happily share the same piece of water. The following table highlights the major differences: Rowing and sculling boats Canoes and Kayaks Relatively fast Relatively slow Good view astern, poor view ahead Good view ahead, poor view astern Not very manoeuvrable Manoeuvrability varies according to design Wide (up to 7 m blade tip to blade tip) Narrow Difficult to stop quickly Easier to stop quickly What canoeists need to know about rowing boats • There are many different types and sizes of rowing and sculling boats, for 1, 2, 4 or 8 people. • Rowing boats (especially 4s and 8s) are fast and go well in straight lines. • Rowing boats do not naturally stop quickly but rowers can do an emergency stop. • Rowers do not face the direction of travel. • Some rowing boats have coxes – some are in the front of the boat, some are at the back. • Coxes have restricted vision – the ones in the front cannot see behind at all or to the side very easily, coxes at the back have difficulty seeing directly ahead, can see to the side and have limited vision behind.
