This instructional work aims to introduce novices to the fundamentals of oarsmanship and elucidate the techniques that distinguish skilled rowers from beginners. It underscores the virtues of rowing as an athletic endeavor rich in discipline, endurance, and camaraderie." "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. Lehmann invites novices to appreciate the elegance and complexity of well-executed strokes, contrasting it with the struggles of less skilled crews. He also references the historical context of rowing competitions, mentioning significant events like the Oxford and Cambridge boat race.
