Mathematician Solves Rowing Boat "Wiggle" Problem ...
|
| |
Read all about it: [link] I don't think this is as revolutionary as the article makes out. I believe Italian rigs have been known to be better balanced for a while (or at least AIUI).

Single scull opinions
|
| |
I have been looking to buy a single to row on the tideway. I am not the most experienced sculler, but am keen to become one, and as I have yet to come across someone who will give me a straight opinion on the general characteristics of different makes apart from an opinion of the boat type they currently own, or the typical "empacher only"... more »
