So this is the person breaking the shafts on our blades.
Great advice. It took me about 8-months to figure out on my own how to avoid both back and front splash (as you describe) regardless of how quickly or slowly I'm rowing.
in a static boat, no splash. the faster the boat is going, the more b'splash is going to be kicked up.
B'splash is therefore good, provided there is a quick connection to lock up and spurt up a f'splash.
You guys talk SO much sense - thankyou!
In an eight ask the members of the crew if they are getting splashed from the front or the back. If its from the front then the people sitting in front of them are too slow with the entry, and if from the back the people behind are driving before the fast vertical placement of their blade
There's lots of good advice here, but the man speaking does not understand the physics of the boat at all. The mass of the rower is approx 5x that of the boat. It is impossible to start moving the blade towards the stern without also moving the bodies towards the bow. What happens is that the boat then moves backwards 5 cm for every 1cm of the bodies sliding forward. Watch what happens on a Rowperfect /RP3 to observe this. No backsplash = lots of deceleration at entry, as it can only be achieved by kicking the boat backwards. All decent rowers have backsplash for this reason. The faster the boat the more important this is, because drag increases as the square of speed, therefore variance in speed (observed as bowball/stern movement) is more critical in faster boats. The demo with the blade is silly because you are not putting the blade into still water, it is moving!
how's it possible to be at the catch without pressure on the footplate? cheers!
pull your weight with your feet. as long as you are pulling at the footplate, there should be no weight on the plate. your weight is stationary stern side of the boat. if you push away from the plate, you create a reaction (backwards) from the boast moving forward. if your blade is already submerged when you push away from the foot plate, all (at least most of) your weight will move the boat forward in the desired direction. It is a simple matter of action and reaction and right timing.
