I hear creaking when you’re applying pressure to the footboard. Do the Edons tend to creak due to the polyethylene? That’s giving me pause when considering purchase.

Да хороший тримаран.

Well done Ewa and Steve. Fascinating episode

Now THAT is a proper rigger dip

Yet another interesting and informative episode highlighting Poland’s rich history. A delight to watch 👍

Fabulous tales from the river as these two intrepid explorers journey in a boat sharing all…

Great oneSteve and Ewa

Thanks Ewa and Steve for the great video from Poland. Good work. 🚣🚣‍♀

Great video! Thank you guys!

Hi Steve and Ewa, nice job, well done. You interweave history with the modern day so well. Looking forward to finding out if you made it to Gdansk in time!

Really interesting Steve and Ewa...thank you ❤

❤❤

Nice Content!!

Great videos!

I found you 🎉

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🥹🗻

Thank you for this information! I’m moving to a lakefront property and so want a “Yole” ….desperately!!! Thank you so much!!!!

Sizi tebrik ediyorum mükemmelsiniz.👏🏻🙏🏻

Great strategy to no have to keep looking back

35 strokes? Pretty good. Nothing like being on the water.

Interesting, but…. No data on performance enhancement

Does it make a difference in small boats? I have a several books about skin on frame kayaks that have those types of bows.

The designers could have placed the amas a little forward more, in line with bow of the centre hull. How do you think doing this would effect the performance, especially the stuffing of the bows?

Great introduction, I am curious how do rowers know where they are going as they are facing where they came from?

Never too early to start ❤

Hello, I'm interested in a slide seat rowing boat. I already tried rowing my canoe and enjoyed it but would like to take the next step. I also would like a boat that can handle rough water, like a bay. Here is my problem. Of the few companies I've found that sell a boat like I would like the prices are shocking. Any advice on where I might look? I'm in the USA.

Can you please show the difference between sculling & rowing? And, why don’t you show us how to climb the boat or survive after tipping over into the water after showing us how to prevent falling over. Thank you

My dear Stephen, I can relate! I rowed on New Year’s Eve after being confined to home for 2 months. I’d had a detached retina that required surgery and I was never so happy to get back in my boat! I did train at home and I was arguably over trained. I studied the videos in the Sculling Academy to get me through.

Good information!!! 🚣🏻

Thanks Stephen!!

Price?

Thank you. Very helpful indeed!

Steven, who makes the widest boat in this video?

Hit Stephen, Quick question: When it comes to rowing shells, does the length of the boat really equal speed? Let's assume there are two identical rowers and one has a slightly longer boat. Which boat would be faster? Thxs

Great short video, thank you! I am a "potential" new rower, older guy but fit enough. First, why the shoes off, personal preference or is this standard practice? I would think having shoes on may help with a firmer more stable platform to drive into? Second, I see single sculls with the oar mount in front of the rower like yours and others in the back of the rower. Are there pros and cons to each or is it just personal preference? Also, I am in South Dakota, USA and the lakes/rivers around here are not always calm. can one row in a bit rougher waters?

Awesome video, please check your message

Dear Ewa, there will be a next time the conditions aren’t ideal and you’ll be better prepared. You’ve got the best coach and you looked really good when backing down. Dear Stephen, I’ve learned well from you and my confidence allows me to get out on the water when the conditions aren’t ideal. I’ve been windsurfing for 40 years and I learned that if you are overconfident or incautious then you might get spanked by Mother Nature!

Designed to fly! Nice one

Thanks! I saw one for sale and your video is enticing me to buy it!

It looks better with the bimini. I have one Elf 26 and is planning to install a bimini or hardtop for protection against rain and sun. Would be better if i can see more pictures like that

I left home and was in England at the age of 16, at Chatham Dockyard (1965) and did some rowing in the three naval basins just for fun. When I went up to the University of Newcastle upon Tyne , I rowed a lot at the Town Moor, a small lake, and the Leases Park, where the park attendant was kind enough to let me row at much less than half the price, with no time limits, as I was attracting a few customers with my antics, I loved the ducks keeping pace with me, as shown in this video at 7:27. I rowed at Durham and also at Cambridge, when I went down for some discussions in my engineering research field. The Cambridge students took me punting, and, as I never did it before, they invited me to do it on my own to see how it goes. They rode their own punts and I mine. I felt for the rocking sensitivity of the punt as the pitching was solid enough, and so down the river we went, with the current Standing on the punt did not worry me at all. The other students were surprised at my pace, and I was leading, going fast under the bridges, some of which were rather narrow. When we got to our destination the other "local" students insisted that I had played a joke on them them, saying that I never punted before. Well, it was true enough, I had never punted before! What I did not tell them was that I came from a family of boat builders in Malta, and I had spent my youth with my brothers and friends rowing around the coast of Malta, where we did things that no father nor mother would like to hear! I returned to Malta in 1969 ( Yes I am a very old man) and being an engineer I made a few modification to the oars on my boat, I never liked the blade to change its angle during the stroke, so I structured a system where the blade always keeps at 90 degrees with the length of the boat, In normal sculling the blades lose a lot, as they are about 45 degrees at the start and end of the stoke, With engineering one can try a few experiments,. With two linked rowers it is easy to achieve blades retaining the 90 degree angle during the rowing stroke. With sculling I never liked the pitching effect, with the boat nosing in and out, so I also tried going "fishy:, and rather than using oars, I tried oscillating a "foil" under the centre of gravity of the boat, or two foils in opposite directions so they would react on one another and would not " oscillate the boat". I believe that oscillating "foils or flukes" as in dolphins and killer whales, one can reach a higher speed and it is more convenient to use " submerged flukes" in choppy seas as we have in Malta, Using constantly submerged oscillating flukes, the movement is more silent and smoother than the sculling and my wife prefers ir. Returning to my antics at Newcastle, at about 1962, I had designed and made a ten channel digital transmitter and receiver, which I introduced in a model submarine made out of three tin oil cans, as oils for cars used to come in tin cans in those days, not plastic containers. With this tin can submarine controlled by my secret ten channel digital radio, I used to chase the ducks which flitted away, as the duck shown in this video at 7:27. (left side) . Now I feel old, but every time I receive some correspondence from Stephen Walker, It brings back memories, and my Grandson who is now old enough will join in the family tradition! I would not mind having a single of double " Gig" as made by Stephen Walker, they are perfect for our waters in Malta. My spirit is willing and my bones seem to be lasting too. Congratulations on this Nice video, but crossing the weir is not as thrilling as some of the antics we got up to when young, which my father never knew, but my mother told me that she knew, as she had friends who lived by the coast, and she was well informed! Mothers always knew their children's secrets, but they also knew how their children would handle them.! Thank you for the memories.

perfect lesson, thank you !

A little help nice

Great training video, Steve. Good focus on safety.

I started my rowing hobby few hours ago, this is just amazing!!

The more you weigh the easier it is to capsize the boat. I have praticed this a lot. First put the oars behind the boat so the oars dont swing out and hit you. Then stand on the rigger and turn the boat over. Now getting back on. Run your hand toward the other side of the rigger and straddle your body across the rigger then turn your body over the seat and get back on the seat. This is the fastest way to get back on the ts515. Love love love the ts515. I have been wanting to get a rowing boat since the late 70s. I have thought for years which boat should I get. Last year I finally pulled the trigger and got this. Never a day goes by where I thought did I make the wrong choice. Everything about it is perfect. Most rowing boats have a little fin where the whole body of the ts515 is a fin. This boat tracks surprisingly well for its length.

You don't need to be able to speak Dutch to understand what is going on in this ruclips.net/video/MZL-FNhFGZI/видео.htmlsi=BLRSVvgFyOrVWqYI demonstration of how to get back into a fine boat, as I had tried to explain part way through my own video. A video saves a 1000 words!😁

Miło Cię widzieć Stiv. Pozdrawiam z nad Wisły Ciebie i sympatyczna Ewę.

Very interesting Steve and love the fact that the boat is so difficult to capsize!

Brilliant demo Steve. You are a natural instructor! Such helpful safety advice.
