(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
A crew comprises a body or a class of people who work at a common activitiy, generally in a structured or hierarchical organisation. The word has particular nautical resonances: the tasks involved in operating a ship, particularly a sailing ship, being subdivided into numerous specialities and organised with a chain of command.For a specialist sporting usage, compare rowing.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Rowing is propelling a boat by means of oars. The purpose can be transportation, recreation or sport.
Rowing sport
Rowing is a speed sport in narrow wooden or composite boats, where the athlete sits on a sliding seat above the water level and faces backwards, using oars operating as levers of the second type to move the boat. This may be done on a river or on the sea. Outriggers are used to increase the leverage of the oars. The outriggers must be fixed to the boat. We distinguish between rowing or sweep rowing (one oar per rower) and sculling (two oars per rower). Rowing boats can be coxed (steered by a coxswain) or coxless.
Rowers may take part in the sport for their leisure or they may competitively row. If they chose to compete they have the option of racing in a regatta or a head. A regatta is a race where the competitors are rowing along side each other. They start at the same time from a stationary position and the winner will cross the finish line first. The winner will then race again in the next round until all competitors have been beaten. This usually takes place in the summer. In a head race there is a rolling start and a crew will row as hard as they can to the finish. Each competitor will be timed and the winner is the fastest crew, this may take place in the winter.
Rowing is unusual in the demands it places on competitors. The standard race distance of 2,000m is long enough to have a large endurance element, but short enough (typically 5.5 to 7.5 minutes) to feel like a sprint. This means that rowers have some of the highest power outputs of athletes in any sport. At the same time the motion involved in the sport compresses the rowers' lungs, limiting the amount of oxygen available to them. This requires rowers to tailor their breathing to the stroke, typically inhaling and exhaling twice per stroke, unlike most other sports such as cycling where competitors can breathe freely.
The relative obscurity of rowing has helped it develop an introspective atmosphere, where long hours, early mornings on the river, and the physical pain of the event are the price of being a part of the rowing community. The intense focus of top rowers on their sport is unusual even by the standard of similarly excellent competitors in other sports.
One piece of equipment commonly used when training for rowing, the 'indoor rower' or 'ergometer', has become popular as a sport in its own right.
History
Rowing boats (or similar vessels) have been around for centuries, but before the 18th century, there is little mention of boat races. In the 13th century, Venetian festivals called regata included boat races among others. Nowadays, rowing competitions are still called regattas (with a second 't' added).
The first modern rowing races, in the second half of the 18th century, were races between watermen on the River Thames in England. Subsequently, rowing became extremely popular as an amateur sport, often with thousands of spectators for events. From the first University Boat Race between Oxford and Cambridge on the River Thames (known as the Isis when flowing through Oxford), student rowing has become increasingly popular. In the Anglo-Saxon world, there is also a sizeable school rowing community.
Rowing today is governed by the Fédération Internationale des Sociétés d'Aviron (FISA, International Federation of Rowing Associations), which organises World Championships since 1962. Rowing has also been conducted at the Olympic Games since 1900 (cancelled at the first modern Games in 1896).
Strong rowing nations include the United Kingdom, the United States, France, Germany, Australia. Well-known rowers of the recent years include Sir Steve Redgrave (UK), who won Olympic golds in five successive Olympics in the coxless pair and the coxless four, Rob Waddell (New Zealand) and Xeno Muller (Switzerland), opponents in the single sculls, Ekaterina Karsten (Belarus) in women's single sculls, Katrin Boron (Germany) in women's double sculls and quadruples.
Competition Format
At World Championship level, sculling races include :
and rowing races include:
- quadruple sculls (four rowers)
- double sculls (two rowers)
- single sculls (one rower)
There are also lightweight men's (<72.5kg) and lightweight women's (<57.5kg) races in the aforementioned classes. All races are held over 2000 metres.
- coxed eight (or eight)
- coxed fours
- coxless fours
- coxless pairs (occasionally coxed pairs are rowed).
Coxed fours and coxed pairs are to longer Olympic events. It is rumored that this decision was made to make room for the lightweight men's and women's competition at the Olympics. As a result of the cancelation of the coxed fours and coxed pairs at the Olympics, rowers take less interest in rowing those types of boats at World Championships as well.
At national, regional and local levels, Masters rowers (those 27 and up who have not won major competitions in the last year) generally race over a 1000-meter distance.
One Stroke
- The stroke begins with the oar out of the water with the blade feathered, or in other words parallel to the water. The rower has legs straight and body upright, and arms straight in front.
- The rower leans the body forward ( i.e. toward the stern) slightly while keeping the oar level and legs straight.
- The rower bends the legs, bringing the seat forward ( i.e. toward the stern) on its rollers, while the oar remains level.
- The blade of the oar is turned 90 degrees so that it is perpendicular to the water.
- The blade is quickly inserted into the water. This is called the catch.
- The rower levers the boat past the tip of the blade by the action of straightening the legs while the body remains leaned forward and the arms remain straight. This is called the leg drive.
- The rower continues pushing with the legs while the body leans back ( i.e. towards the bow ) and begins to draw the blade handle(s) towards the body.
- The rower completes the leg drive plus backwards lean and pulls the oar to the chest by bending the arms. This is called the draw.
- The rower pushes the oar handle down such that the blade comes out of the water. This is known as the release.
- The oar is turned 90 degrees such that the blade is parallel to the water.
- The arms are pushed out in front of the body until they are straight.
- The body is returned to the upright position, and now the position is identical to the starting position.
Rowing Terminology
- Backstop -- (UK) the sliding seat position closest to the boat's bows.
- Bow -- the rower in the front (i.e. the direction the boat is moving while rowing) of a multi-person shell. In coxless boats often the person who keeps an eye on the water behind him to avoid accidents.
- Bow ball -- an essential small, soft ball no smaller than 4centimetres dia. securely attached to a rowing or scullnng boat's bow. Primarily intended for safety but also useful in deciding which boat crossed the finish line first in very close races.
- Bowside -- (UK) starboard side.
- Catch -- the part of the stroke at which the blade enters the water.
- Cleaver blade or Hatchet blade -- Modern, hatchet-shaped blade.
- Coxbox -- portable voice amplifier; may also optionally incorporate digital readouts displaying stroke rate, boat speed & times.
- Crab -- a rowing error in which the blade is pushed under the water and becomes caught in the flow of the water past the boat, referred to as 'catching a crab'. This always results in slowing the boat down, and can even lift a rower out of the shell or make the boat capsize.
- "Easy oars" -- To stop.
- Erg -- Short for ergometer: a rowing machine.
- Feather -- To turn the oar so that its blade is parallel with the water (opposite of 'square').
- Frontstop -- (UK) the sliding seat position closest to the boat's stern.
- "Hold it/her up" -- (UK) stop the boat.
- "Hold it/her hard" -- (UK) emergency stop.
- Launch -- A motorboat used by rowing instructors or coaches.
- Macon blade -- Traditional U-shaped blade
- Port -- A sweep rower who rows with the oar on the port side.
- Pot -- a tankard awarded as a prize to each member of a winning crew.
- Rating -- the number of strokes executed per minute.
- Ratio -- the relationship between the time taken during the propulsive and recovery phases of a rowing or sculling action.
- Scull -- To row with two oars (per rower), or a shell designed to be sculled.
- Seat race -- a method to compare two rowers in fours or eights. Two boats race against each other once. One rower from each boat switch positions, and the two boats race again. Relative performance in the two races is used to compare the abilities of the two rowers.
- Shell -- The boat used for rowing.
- Slides -- hollow rails upon which a rower or sculler's sliding seat will roll.
- Square -- To turn the oar so that its blade is perpendicular to the water (opposite of 'feather').
- Starboard -- A sweep rower who rows with the oar on the starboard side.
- Stretcher -- (UK) an adjustable footplate.
- Stroke -- the rower in the stern of a multi-person shell, whose timing is followed by the other rowers.
- Strokeside -- (UK) port side.
- "Way enough" -- To stop.
