Attached is an information sheet that describes a method of setting optimum angles for catch and finish on your boats which will enable the coach to observe and assess a crew and determine what works best for them.

Points to be considered when assessing your crew are:-

  • The Span/Inboard relationship
  • The effective stroke length that is being rowed compared to recorded stroke length measured which takes into account excessive over reaching or layback rather than drive in the water.
  • As with all rigging issues, trial or test pieces should be rowed to determine what works best for your crew and rating should be taken into consideration in the final outcome if only short test pieces are conducted.
