I had been rowing for a few years before I flipped it. And it was due to stupidity: my oar lock wasn't tightened enough. The oar popped out, and I was over in a flash. I had never practiced this maneuver before but knew enough to get the oars wrangled in first. FYI, there is a pair of almost new Oakleys at the bottom of Stoney Creek Lake.

I think she made that look easier than it really is. Definitely worth practising! Thanks for the video.

@LancesterHardwood Год назад

How easy it is depends also on you. The fitter and lighter you are the easier it is. First time turning over as a teenager i jumped in the boat without technics, like holding the blades...

These guys are legends for responding to some of these comments even after 8 years

I flipped today. My first time out in a racing scull. I'll try this next time. Thanks

@clearday1971 Год назад

Still the best flip test instruction video after all these years. I visited you in 2016, it was awesome.

For that reason most people only start practicing sculling when the water is a little bit warmer. This way you can get your technique to a decent level in a safe manner and keeps the risk of falling in the water when it's really cold. As far as I know this is the fastest way of getting in your boat. Also it can be done a lot faster than this, but that way you wouldn't be able to see what exactly happens so it's done slow in this video.

Charlette seems to be a pro at this. Great video. Thanks for posting!

Hope it was helpful, thanks for watching.

@GNatGoodman 13 лет назад

Very clear demonstration of a tricky maneuver!

@rowingwithcalmwaters 11 лет назад

It can be harder than it looks but I did demo this a lot before I got smart enough to video it. Now I just show the video instead of getting wet everytime.

@westinnewman3572 5 лет назад

Would you recommend that new rowers swim their boat to shore (if they are near to it), or attempt this fairly advanced maneuver?

@DanDanDoe 4 года назад

Westin Newman As a sculler myself it’s good to start trying it from the first time onwards. At my rowing society it’s considered a basic technique. It’s good to be able to do it, as you can’t always get to a side where you can stand or get out of the water. Definitely a technique worth practising from the start.

@danielfuegerable 4 года назад

Ha! Watched this video 4 days ago. And it came very handy today - thanks!

@rowingwithcalmwaters 4 года назад

Glad you found the video helpful, stay safe!

@rowingwithcalmwaters 10 лет назад

It's the same technique though obviously a little more difficult, you need to have a decent upper body strength to weight ratio. I compare getting back in the boat to getting out of the pool without a ladder. If you can do that, you're much more likely to be able to get back into the boat.

@totalrandomness4543 8 лет назад

From age 4-11 I had swimming lessons, the purpose of these were to 'make sure you can swim' but as you got older they made you do competitive swimming technique even if you DIDNT WANT TO SWIM, I tried to quit but my mum wouldn't let me. Anyway, they wouldn't EVER let you use the ladder so I grew up being able to get out of a pool without standing on anything. It's not that hard, just push up with your arms and place your knee down on the edge as soon as you can, then pushing up on your knee and hands pull your other leg out of the water.

you see? always listening to mum!

@rowingwithcalmwaters 10 лет назад

As to getting back in when the boat has backstays, very difficult. One thing that might work is using a velcro strap to hold onto the oar handles and then shimmying up the bow. We tried this at Calm Waters with a woman who brought her own boat with backstays. She couldn't get in any other way but this worked.

@josephew1 11 лет назад

This happend to me today .... I just sat on top of the capsized boat until the club motorboat came by...

@rohangiga 13 лет назад

had to get back in myself the other day without ever trying or watching a video before, just coach telling me what to do, haha it sucks

@TonySousa 8 лет назад

Thanks for sharing. TT

@23gez Месяц назад

swiftly done in swift shell w/ swifts overhead, mins 1.30 - 2.00 is the part where the sculler re-seats ahead of the croc-attack ;-o

@lisagiulianelli2553 8 лет назад

I need to get a drop in seat for my sculling boat. Any recommendations for where to get an economical one?

@ushoys Год назад

Looks dead easy - watching HER do it on RU-vid. I bet not so simple for me in reality!

@edwardpollitt6388 12 лет назад

bro you must be so good

@WojtikJ 12 лет назад

never thought it's possible)))... i always called for help, LOL....

@keauer 10 лет назад

How do you get back in if you are not a light weight person? Is there a technique for the larger woman (with hips)?

@alexchi7834 10 лет назад

How do you go about getting back in the boat if it has back stays ?

@BOGObiology 3 года назад

If the boat has a wing rigger and a backstay, you can fit between them. But if it's a 3-pronged rigger, you'd have to kick the boat to shallow water because the prongs are too close together to fit between them.

@dingdong8776 11 лет назад

oar in nz

@phallusmagnus 12 лет назад

reasonably good, yes, although i prefer sweep. but that isn't my point. my point was that it is rather difficult to get your boat to flip ALL THE WAY over 180 degrees. in my experience people just fall out and the boat stays upright, though it sometimes gets water in it.

@clairetodd6052 5 лет назад

yeah yesterday I flipped my single twice and can confirm that it is very possible and easy to flip 180 degrees in a sculling boat

@mannymarotta 11 лет назад

Sculling for the first time ever this morning...and everyone thinks I already know how to do it.

@rowingwithcalmwaters 9 лет назад

It's a Peinert X25

@amrani-fernandezlea5852 10 лет назад

omg!

@filleducameaux 11 лет назад

Thanks for posting! But, in cold waters, this looks like it would require a determined and knowledgeable rower, because if you didn't know to fight your way up there quickly, you might be incapacitated from hypothermia. (?, I'm open to constructive comments)

@westinnewman3572 5 лет назад

Certainly seems like an above average level of agility would be required.

@clearday1971 Год назад

The time to practice IMO is in warmer temperatures, and ideally with coaching until you can do it reflexively. A 4-oar rule in winter also helps but I understand that probably isn't your scenario. Our club is organizing a voluntary flip test session tomorrow and this is the video I'm sharing in preparation. :)

@rowingwithcalmwaters 8 лет назад

Every boat has a different seat. Figure out what make and model your boat is then I'd suggest going straight to the manufacturer. They should be able to help.

@kentuckyliz188 12 лет назад

I don't think I could get my upper body that far up onto the boat! I guess I'm grabbing the boat and swimming for shore. :-D I could ship my oars in, tie them with the string of my emergency whistle, drape myself on the bow like a surfer, and paddle 'er in! :-)

@maartsvenson 12 лет назад

LOOOOOOOL

@marcel_789 Год назад

If you flip during the race, this technique can actually enable you to finish the race.

@alanmarusic7604 2 года назад

Easier said than done

@dingdong8776 11 лет назад

I flipped 3 times my first time in a single got the coach boat to take me to a bank then rowed harder then stopped to bale. PS: only 10

@phallusmagnus 12 лет назад

wow, how can you flip a boat like that? i usually fall out, but haven't actually capsized...

@DanDanDoe 4 года назад

Ludwig Amadeus Haydn How do you fall out without capsizing? I’ve always capsized, because my feet are essentially stuck to the boat. If I go, the boat goes with me.

@dylandevilliers4895 3 года назад

Who else has just tipped over and is watching videos trying to get back in? Just me?

@rowingwithcalmwaters 3 года назад

Better late than never Dylan! Hope you were rowing somewhere warm when you flipped and I hope you find the video helpful.

@edwardpollitt6388 12 лет назад

not really as the momentum that has caused the boat to tip that far usually causes the boat to continue to flip to 180 degrees, which is mostly what I have seen (and experienced) in my encounters.

@codyme5 11 лет назад

5 times oh well u must be so proud... GB got owned by NZ anywayz... so evidentally we knowbetter. ;)

@lw450fandt 11 лет назад
