Finish – Washing out |
Mistake: | The rower moves the handle(s) to the hips in the last part of the draw, causing the blade to gradually lift out of the water. Also see: ![]() |
Observe: | Handle: watch the handle(s) being pulled down to the hips. Blade: watch as the blade(s) slowly resurfaces during the draw. |
Cause: | Wrong finish hand height or compensation for too little strength in the arms. |
Conse- quence: |
Loss of pressure at the end of the draw, causing the boat lose speed. This mistake is part of the ![]() |
Remedy bin: |
The oar(s) should not be pulled up from a top grip, but pushed up from the shoulders with a bottom grip. Have the rower do this to throat height (overcompensation) so that the blade(s) deeply submerge. This makes him feel the principle. The coach/instructor kneels next to the rower and assists by guiding the handle(s) to the chest (motion guidance). |

Feed- back: |
Visually: by looking at the blade. Periodically touching a specific spot on the chest with the stretched thumbs. If the chest is hit below this spot, you are washing out. |
Cox chair: |
The top part of blade is clearly visible during the last part of the draw. The blade is therefore not kept under water until the last moment. |
