Dock Launching and Landing

In San Diego, we launch from the beach so docks are only used at away regattas! Here's a quick video to prepare new coxswains for their first dock launching and landing experience.

That docking tip about only oars touching the dock is good until theres nobody to catch you

Since this is a video for beginners, aiming for your blades to reach the dock is how you prevent running your bow into the dock.

Thanks for uploading this. We found it useful at Newcastle Rowing Club in Australia, where we also beach launch.
