rowing terminology8+ and 4+: Eights (8+) and fours (4+) are the most common collegiate competi-
tions and the two events held at the NCAA Championships. The plus indi-cates a coxswain on board.
Bow: the forward end of the boat which crosses the finish line first; the rower in the seat nearest the forward end of a shell, who typically has a quick catch, stable technique and a shorter arc.
Blade: the end of the oar which pries the boat through the water.Bucket rigging: two riggers on the same side next to each other instead of alter-
nated.Catch: the entrance of the oar blade into the water at the beginning of the stroke.Coxswain (cox): person who steers the shell from a seat located in the stern or a
lying position in the bow.Ergs: short for ergometer; individual rowing machines that help strength and
conditioning.Feathering: turning the oar blade flat during the recovery to lessen wind resis-
tance.Head race: the traditional fall regatta, in which boats cross the starting line at full
speed at roughly 15-second intervals; the course usually involves navigating three miles of river, around bends and under bridges.
Lightweight: a crew on which each athlete weighs under a specific amount (130 pounds for women).
Novice: a rower in the first year of collegiate competition.Port: the left side of the boat.Power ten (or twenty): a tactical burst of speed of 10 or 20 strokes; frequently the
stroke rate comes up during a power ten.Recovery: the time between strokes while the oar blade is traveling through the
air.
Release: the oar blade leaving the water at the finish or end of the stroke.Regatta: the name of rowing events in which several crews compete.Repechage: a second chance race for those crews which do not automatically
advance to the finals of an event through the heat.Rigger: the metal or carbon fiber structure attached to the side of the boat into
which the oar fits.Rigging: the relationship between the oar, the rigger, and the position of each
rower. Changing the rigging means changing the leverage, just as a bicycle rider changes gears. Most crews have an optimum number of strokes per minute, depending on their size, strength and experience.
Run: the distance the shell moves during one stroke.Sculling: type of rowing where each rower uses two oars.Shell: boat used in the rowing races; seats nine people for an Eight and five people
for a Four, and ranges in length from 45 feet for a Four to 58 feet for an Eight.
Sprints: used in collegiate competition, this type of race features a course which is 2,000 meters long, usually with four to six unmarked or buoyed lanes and a floating or staked start.
Starboard: the right side of the boat.Stern: the back of the boat; the end the rowers face during competitions.Stroke: a complete cycle of moving the oar through the water; the rower who sits
closest to the stern looks directly at the coxswain in a stern-coxed boat and sets the rhythm for the shell.
Stroke rate: the number of strokes per minute.Sweeping: type of rowing where each rower uses one oar.Varsity: the collegiate rower who competes beyond the novice level.
tYPES of rACESHead Races: Head races usually take place in the fall on rivers; hence,
the Head of the Charles, the Head of the Colorado, etc. Rowers, starting the course one after the other about 15 seconds apart, navigate three miles of river. Whoever completes the course in the shortest amount of time wins.
2,000-meter Competition: NCAA, World and Olympic competitions are 2,000 meters or approximately 1-1/4 miles. Most courses are divided into six buoyed lanes, allowing six boats to participate at any one time. If more than six crews are entered in an event, heats and semifinals may be run to determine who races in the finals. This racing utilizes a double-elimination system which means each participant gets at least two opportunities to race. Each race takes between six minutes, 30 seconds and eight minutes depending on boat class as well as wind and water conditions.
whAt to wAtCh forThe crew that’s making it look easy is most likely the crew doing the best
job, working the hardest and hurting the most. Here’s what to watch for:•Continuous,fluidmotionofrowers:Allgoodrowersmusthavepower
to move the boat through the water, and must be in top physical condi-tion.
•Synchronization:Watchthebodiesofthecrew.(Dotheymoveinuni-son?)
•Cleancatcheswiththeblade:Watchtoseeifallcrewmembershitthecatch together. (Do all oar blades enter the water at the same time?)
•Evenbladework:Whenthebladesarebroughtoutof thewater, theyshould all move horizontally at the same height, just above the water.
•Maintaining the speed of the shell: The shells don’tmove at a con-sistent speed (slowest at the catch, quickest at the release). A good crew times the catch at the right moment to maintain the speed of the shell.
•Strokerate:Witheachstroke,thecrewistryingtomakeexcellentrun(distance the shell goes in one stroke cycle). During the race, the num-ber of strokes per minute will vary, from 42 to 50 at the start, 34 to 40 in the body, and 38 to 42 at the finish.
Other things to watch for:In case of a false start or broken equipment within the first 100 meters,
competitors are called back. A boat responsible for two false starts is dis-qualified.
Boats must stay in their lanes, though there is no penalty for crossing the buoys so long as this does not hinder other competitors and the boat crosses the finish line in the judge’s view.
The course is followed by an umpire in a motorboat behind the last crew who judges whether the competitors are following the rules. The boat that crosses the finish line first wins the race.
