What a beautiful day for our community! 💙🚣‍♀️
The @mysticchamber was truly honored to be part of such an important addition to our community: the Mystic River Boathouse, The Jim Dietz Rowing Center & Hart Perry Boathouse.
There’s something incredibly special about watching a vision become a reality, and even more meaningful seeing the outpouring of support, generosity, and community spirit that has gone into making this project possible. This is more than a boathouse. It’s an investment in our community, in the power of rowing, and in future generations who will have the opportunity to learn, grow, and create memories along the Mystic River including serving as the new home for @stoningtoncrew
From the visionaries and donors to the construction crews, volunteers, rowers, and community members who helped bring this dream to life, thank you for believing in what’s possible when we come together. ❤️

TAKING YOU BACK TO PORTUGAL
Looking back at an incredible time filming in Portugal~

The landscape brings beauty with its lush greens and misty mornings. The waterways surrounded by grasslands lined with olive and lemon trees. The bells of the sheep ringing in the distance alongside church bells.

Beyond the water, this was a destination rich in history and culture that makes for unforgettable stories to accompany the scenic waters. This is the magic that went into the Portugal rowing workouts.

Rowing Demystified EP 4

Notes on docking:

The biggest issue beginning scullers face when docking is a fear of approaching the dock with speed. They approach too slowly, and the boat inevitably stops short of where they intend to land.

Instead, understand that coming into the dock is not a zero-sum game where the speed at which you approach particularly matters (though you do need some speed, probably more than most think).

Approach the dock with speed, at an angle (even up to 45°), then observe your bowball carefully as you come closer. Check your water side oar accordingly to prevent your bowball from hitting the dock. This takes practice to master, but is not particularly difficult.

Lastly, do remember to lean away from the dock as you come in so your rigger does not jam against the dock edge in the last moments.

Thank you @seacoastlobsterbands for filming, and good luck in the lobster biz. #rowing #sculling #rowinglife #rowingrelated #aviron

Portugal is back 🇵🇹 And this crew came ready to let loose.

Join James, Buffy, Mac, and Mike for race-day energy, escalating intervals, and a little reckless abandon.

How fast can you go when you stop holding back?

Head to Portugal and find out.

A few notes on this video:

The reason we back with the bottom edge of the blades facing skyward is because it allows you to come out of backing by flipping the oars forward back into the water. Backing with the oars turned on the “regular” square, as you would row, offers no such smooth transition out of a backing stroke with speed.

Over time, using the full legs and back while backing makes you incredibly comfortable going reverse in a scull. In my experience, rowers who only back exclusively with their arms never achieve that “full” comfort going in reverse.

Committing to flipping the oars fully when coming out of your backing strokes is of paramount importance. As with most sculling techniques, not committing fully to the technique can create problems.

Lastly, let the boat ride when you flip those blades over, and don’t panic. Push/pull is a great drill to get more comfortable in this final position - and the innovative @aramtraining has a great video on how to perform this drill most effectively.

And lastly, thank you, Leila, for filming a stranger’s video as he asked you to pan back and forth when you already had the perfect shot.

I hope this helps you look cool 😎. #rowing #sculling #rowingtricks #rowinglife #aviron
