For everyone who’s every been frightened of tipping out, capsizing or does not feel at ease in a rowing boat – this new book is for you and your coach. If you’ve ever watched a really skilled oarsman or woman work their craft, you will realise that they all have one common skill and that is Ease In A Boat. They are comfortable, happy to be at the catch or finish, tension is eliminated. Fabrice Moreau in his single (messing around, it has to be said) is a master of his art.

“It is easy to get the impression that if we could just get a big enough engine and precise enough movements from a series of joints and lever arms, all problems would disappear. And yet we know better than to think that this is all there is – it wasn’t such things that brought most of us to the sport, after all; it was more visceral things – things that are felt rather than measured.”
