Description

Masters Rowing Made Simple: Rigging, Boat Setup & Performance — Volume Four is a practical guide to understanding how rowing equipment, boat setup and athlete movement work together. Written for Masters rowers, coaches, coxes, boatmen and club volunteers, this book explains rigging without unnecessary complication. Rather than presenting one set of measurements as correct for every crew, Noel Carey shows how to measure accurately, understand what each adjustment changes and test the result on the water. Inside you will learn how to: measure sweep spread and sculling span correctly understand oar length, inboard and gearing set gate height and control blade depth adjust foot-stretcher position, height and angle understand pitch and blade behaviour set up eights, fours, pairs, doubles and quads adapt equipment for Masters rowers with different body proportions and mobility match rowers of different heights within one crew diagnose common rigging problems before changing the boat create reliable training and race-day setup records The emphasis throughout is practical: measure the existing setup, change one factor at a time, test it under realistic pressure and stroke rate, and record what works. Good rigging should help the rower feel comfortable, connected and able to move the boat effectively. It should support technique rather than force the athlete to fight the equipment. Volume Four of the Masters Rowing Made Simple series.
