Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Complete Oarsman: With Fifty-Nine Illustrations I wish to express my grateful acknowledgments to the following: - To the Editor of Fry's Outdoor Magazine for permission to incorporate in this volume the substance of an article contributed to his magazine; To the Leander Club for permission to reproduce two engravings belonging to the Club; To the First Trinity Boat Club for permission to photograph the ancient rudder and sculls in the possession of the Club; To Messrs. Blackwood and Sons for permission to reprint "The Perfect Oar" from "Crumbs of Pity," published by them; and To the Editor of the Rowing Almanack for permission to reproduce in the Appendix the tables of winning crews. I have endeavoured to illustrate the various movements and positions of the stroke by means of photographs. It was, of course, impossible for me to obtain the services of an eight-oared crew for this purpose, and I have had to confine myself, therefore, chiefly: (1) to photographs of a single individual, and (2) to photographs of a pair-oar, both at rest and in motion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1871 edition. Excerpt: ... will not be a single racing shell built for American waters to carry a coxswain. In regard to a race in which all other things are equal, and one crew carries a coxswain, and in the other the bow oarsman steers, "the result," says Com. Benj. F. Brady, "depends upon what kind of coxswain one crew has, and what kind of a bow-oarsman the other.' This is the whole thing in a nutshell, and should be taken into consideration, by those who imagine that the mere fact of a crew not carrying a coxswain will ensure them victory over another which employs one. What Americans claim is, that a bow-oarsman can, with sufficient practice, and there are scores who have it, do his work at the oar and steer the boat as well. This is denied by most Englishmen, who assert the impossibility of a man's "doing two things at one time," as a sufficient reason for understanding why one man cannot fill the two offices, of oarsman and steerer, while they are afraid to test their system with the American, by entering one of their boats with a "worse than useless" against an American boat steered by the bow oar. However, they will ultimately be obliged to adopt this system, as, although many of their oarsmen are obstinate and determined to frown down foreign "innovations," there are many others who are liberal-minded men, disposed to look favorably on anything likely to advance the cause. The eoxswainless boats are to be seen upon almost every boating course in America, and are doubtless familiar sights to every reader of this book. The bow-oarsman has his feet placed against a cross-piece in the bottom of the boat, to which are attached, one on each side, two wire lines, reaching aft through small "eyes" to the rudder, making a miniature "walking-beam" in the boat.
