How does offsetting the oarlock (and, hence, the axis of the oar) from the centre of rotation at the pin affects rowing mechanics?

October 2011 Newsletter: Roadmap on Rowing Biomechanics

How can an athlete minimize losses caused by asymmetry in sculling?

June 2011 Newsletter: How various variables affect rower's feelings of "heaviness" or "lightness" during rowing on erg and on the water

Ralph Earle, President of the Honololu Rowing Club, HI, US is asking: "In the January 2011 Newsletter you derive drag factors for ergs to match the perceived feel of various boat types on the water. That suggests that the OTW (on the water) equivalent DFs are dependent on boat speed, so I am writing to ask: Do you have formulae which take that into account?

The latest Newsletter: GPS boat speed and stroke rate.

defaultNick — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 10:08:51 GMT

Last year GPS data on boat speed and stroke rate became available from FISA website www.worldrowing.com. The data for the World Cups and Championship regattas is presented in 50m splits. To check the accuracy of the data, we have derived an average speed over the whole race using GPS data and compared it with the speed obtained from official results.
