Yesterday morning, this clever rowing platform was the only vessel in Great Cove. It’s a shame that more people didn’t see its interesting features.
In addition to its long sliding seat for more rowing power, it has an oar gear system that enables the rower to row looking forward without the awkwardness and slowness when trying that with standard oars and oarlocks. The gearing also enables the rower to see whether his oar blades are entering the water correctly on the power/pulling stroke.
