So glad you found the video helpful! Definitely much nicer not to scratch up your knuckles or bash your thumbs, plus you'll keep better balance. Good luck!

This was incredibly helpful. I have also just started sculling and after my 4th or 5th time on the water, I came off with bloody knuckles. This is great, thanks for taking the time to make this video!

Just found this video after repeatedly ripping open my bloody knuckle. I hope to try to hang with my fingers and offset my hands slightly.

Thank you for your very clear sculling instructions. I just finished my 4th sculling class today and had bloody knuckles. Your description on how to offset the left and right hands and shoulders will help me improve.

Very relaxed posture. But I believe in the drive. first knuckle of the fingers and upper part of the hand have to make approx 90 degrees. Feathering with the fingers and not to much with the hand.

Great wrist position lesson. Personally I don't shift my shoulders bow and stern, but go over a quarter inch square and even shoulders. Personal choice.

How many more spacers do you have under your left oar lock vs your right?
@rowingwithcalmwaters4 жыл бұрын
You should have an equal number of spacers under each oarlock. The small differential between the height of the port and starboard oarlock is built into the rigger, unless you have a particularly old boat. Hope that helps.

@@rowingwithcalmwaters Rowing a 2015 hudson sp I ‘ll measure the difference of the rigger. I see Crocker set his oar locks from 10 to 25 cm difference. Thanks btw, ran in to a more mature couple at a regatta in N. Michigan a year or so ago, they said they went to your camp or something like that.? Said you were wonderful. Thanks again.
@Mustangchef4 жыл бұрын
Holy cow there is just over a 1/4 inch difference . You were right . is a quarter inch enough?
@rowingwithcalmwaters4 жыл бұрын
I can't say I measure the difference, I just know its built in and that I prefer a minimal amount of difference. If it doesn't feel right to you, you can try adding a spacer, see how that works. Good luck!

Did she just claim how slight thumb press will take the oars/the blades out the water n rotate them? Can you somehow elaborate it a bit more?
@rowingwithcalmwaters6 жыл бұрын
Use the thumbs at the release to help feather the oar - some wrist, some fingers, some thumb. Your grip needs to be loose to allow the thumb to help feather by pushing against the lower outside edge of the grip. Much easier to demonstrate than explain...

Glad you found the video handy 😄 Just remember that once the hands are offset, they stay that way throughout the stroke. In order to go straight, you need to have both oars going through the same length arc on the drive. Good luck!
