Draw – Vary blade height
|
| Practice: |
This exercise consists of a number of steps, proceed to the next step only when the current step is well mastered.
| Step 1: |
Ask the rower to row a piece with half blades only, where the top half of the blade is permanently visible. Let him look at his blades. |
| Step 2: |
In sequence, ask the rower to make three strokes with half-covered blade (half of the blade is visible), three strokes with full-covered blade (a small top edge of the blade is just visible), and three strokes with the shaft of the oar submerged halfway. And then back through full-covered to half-covered blade. |
| Step 3: |
Ask the rower to focus on the handle(s) and catch to finish in a u-shape rather than an n-shape (analogy learning). So not with a bend at the top (" ") but with a bend at the bottom (" ). So after the catch (full covered blade), the middle segment with half covered blade and finally end with a full covered blade again. |

| Focus: |
Look at the blade and shaft of the oar and see how much they are under water. |
| Transfer: |
Ask the rower to row with a regular stroke where the blade edge is just visible during the draw. |
