A longer finish can be drawn in a sculling boat but it is inefficient to draw more than 130 degrees. The latissimus dorsi, trapezius, rhomboids, and biceps. The boat is only as fast as the blades drive it. The power transferred through the blade to the boat is only as much as the legs supply. A good technique is based on the work of the legs to create most of the total power.
Hands guide the blade into the water.
Legs apply the power 3. Make full use of this advantage by beginning the draw with the arms before midway. The arms must start to draw well before the legs reach the backstops. Although legs reach backstops before the arms and trunk have finished working, the toes should continue pressing hard to give support with the legs until the blade is extracted. The trunk should be moving towards the bow until the moment before the hands reach the body.
