Recovery – Insufficient oarlock pressure |
| Mistake: | The oar(s) is/are insufficiently pressed against the oarlock. This releases the oar collar from the oarlock at the catch and/or finish. |
| Observe: | Oarlocks: watch the collar come off the oarlock, usually in the second part of the draw. |
| Cause: | Not pushing the oar(s) out hard enough. |
| Conse- quence: |
Problems with the balance (insufficient oarlock pressure at recovery) and the efficiency of the draw (insufficient oarlock pressure at the draw). |
| Remedy bin/boat: |
Check that the hands are properly on the oar(s). Differential approach by asking to keep the oar permanently detached from the collar and attached to the collar permanently. Alternate this. |
| Feed- back: |
Visually by looking at the collar. Auditory because you hear the collars of the oars tapping against the oarlocks. |
| Cox chair: |
The collar of a rower comes off the oarlock. |
