Andréanne Morin( born August 9, 1981) is a Canadian rower and Olympian.
Anatomy of a rowing stroke
The two fundamental reference points in the anatomy of a rowing stroke are the" catch" where the oar blade is placed in the water, and the" extraction"( also known as the' finish',' release' or' tapping down') where the oar blade is removed from the water.
After the blade is placed in the water at the" catch", the rower applies pressure to the oar levering the boat forward which is called the" drive" phase of the stroke.
Once the rower extracts the oar from the water, the" recovery" phase begins, setting up the rower's body for the next stroke.
Oar
An oar is an implement used for water- borne propulsion.
Oars have a flat blade at one end.
Rowers grasp the oar at the other end.
The difference between oars and paddles is that oars are used exclusively for rowing.
In rowing the oar is connected to the vessel by means of a pivot point for the oar, either an oarlock, or a thole.
The oar is placed in the pivot point with a short portion inside the vessel, and a much larger portion outside.
The rower pulls on the short end of oar, while the long end is in the water.
The oar is a second class lever with the water as the fulcrum, the oarlock as the load, and the rower as the force.
An oar is an unusual lever since the mechanical advantage is less than one.
The oar increases the small displacement of the end held by the rower, into a large displacement of the vessel through the water.
The rower applies a large force through a small distance, which must be equaled by the small force the water applies operating over a longer distance, i.e. the work done by the rower must be balanced by the work done by the water.
By contrast, paddles, are held in both hands by the paddler, and are not attached to the vessel.
Rowers generally face the stern of the vessel, reach towards the stern, and insert the blade of their oar in the water.
As they lean back, towards the vessel's bow, the blade of their oars pivots in the oarlock, and the end in the water moves towards the stern, providing forward thrust.
For thousands of years vessels were powered either by sails, or by the mechanical work of rowers, or by paddlers.
Some ancient vessels were propelled by both oars and sail, depending on the speed and direction of the wind.
