This instructional work aims to introduce novices to the fundamentals of oarsmanship and elucidate the techniques that distinguish skilled rowers from beginners.

"At the start of the book, the author provides an overview of his intentions and experiences in rowing, emphasizing the importance of mastering the art through patient practice.
