About the Book

This is a revised guide to the training, techniques and principles of good oarsmanship. British rowing has undergone many changes in recent years, and levels of skill and professionalism are increasing all the time. This new edition takes into account recent changes in equipment rigging and technique, and incorporates new rigging tables. Bill Sayer offers invaluable instruction to maximize the oarsmen's efficiency and stamina across the water. He surveys the basic equipment; the rigging and design of sculls and boats; the general principles of training, including the special requirements of women ; and the significance of the environmental factors; nutrition and psychology. The body of the book deals with the different techniques required for rowing and sculling and offers advice on steering and coxing, and the special challenges of racing and competition.

About the Author :
Bill Sayer is the former master in charge of rowing at St Edward's School, Oxford, and at Shrewsbury School, two of Britain's premier rowing schools. After rowing and sculling with some success at Southampton, Bangor and Cambridge Universities, he rowed, sculled and coached at a number of clubs. He has had many coaching successes in both rowing and sculling over the years, including national championships, international regattas and Henley Royal Regatta. His record-breaking age group crews have won many National Schools regatta and Schools Head titles across a range of boat types. Crews and former pupils under his guidance have frequently represented England and Great Britain and include World Championship medallists and champions. In 1988 as chief coach he was responsible for the selection and training of the very successful British junior teams in the World Championships and other international events. As a biologist he is particularly interested in the scientific basis of modern rowing training and equipment, and he has even made some high-performance racing boats to his own designs, using advanced materials and methods of construction.
