- With final trials coming up in less than a couple of weeks a lot of people have been asking how the boats are selected for each trial so I thought I would discuss it a little! Tired a little something different with filming aswell, hope you enjoy!

Mad skills docking the pair!
Cam, thanks for the vids! Really nice to see someone present so much insight into the world and life of high-quality rowing! I was wondering if it would be possible to expand on the things you've been saying for coxes? As a young cox for a local school, I was wondering any tips you might have and how coxing for Leander and GB work! Thank you!
A lot of people have been asking about words from the coxswains. I'll see what I can do!
How much coaching do you get on a day to day basis, Cameron? You talk about the coaches a lot but they don't feature much in your otw footage, for example. Keep up the good work, Duncan
They are on the bank every session watching! Usually stop multiple times a session to chat and chat before and after each session too!
Sunshine!! Ah yeah!
Makes such a difference!
Enjoying the vids Cam...I am almost 57 and getting back into Concept 2 rowing after a number of years. Aiming to win the BIRC this year. How should an older Erger train compared to younger guys aiming for the BIRC? 6ft 1in 88kgs. Am I big enough?
My advice for you is to practice more endurance pieces, that's the area most older rowers need to improve on, so try steady state pieces like 30@20s or longer. It's also good to get some shorter distance 1-2k pieces in too so you can still get your sprint split down
@@joshthompson9341 many thanks for your suggestions.
Interestingly latest studies show older athletes have good endurance but lower strength. So I'd suggest mixing in some weight training if possible.
@@Rover200Power True, always good to work in some strength training
I don't think the training should necessarily be any different! Purely based on the individuals strengths and weaknesses!
OK, I am fully aware that this is a weird question, but I have to ask because whenever I row on the water I get gnaw wounds on my bum. I don’t know wether it’s the Seat or my sitting position, but I Get these wounds. Any help? (If any thanks in advance👍)
I was about to ask if the boat seats are more comfortable than the erg's.
@@philipsquire9056 in my experience, the boat seats are less comfortable, because the erg seats have a bit of padding and are bigger
Try finding a better position on the seat, just wiggle around to you find a comfortable place to sit that doesn't gnaw you're bum
My advice is to use boxer cotton/lyrca boxer shorts with no seams in the areas where you develop sores. Also, you have fewer problems if you are an absolute average sized male like myself. If your hips are wider or more narrow than the seat holes, you may have problems. If it is possible, try switching seats from different manufacturers. Small differences may spread the pressure more evenly. Good luck.
I use a seat pad (Godfrey rowing or JL, £30), can’t row without one
when i'm in a double scull i find it hard to steer at bow as we tend to go naturally left how do we fix that?
I think that the first thing to do is to check the boat that you are rowing. Make sure that the skeg is on straight and not bent. The next thing to do is to check the rigging. The having the same spread on both sides is important, and of course, the pitch must be the same.
All of that is fine, then the most common cause of scullers pulling to one side is not setting th catch with the legs. If you are grabbing the water with the arms, it is easy to have your dominant arm apply more force at the catch. I hope this helps.
I think Terry is right! If it isn't to do with the boat itself it is quite difficult to tell without seeing!
As you guys are switching seats, I just wonder whether you use a toe rudder. If so, is it always in the same seat, or is one of you better at steering than the other. At my club, we just took out most of the rudders on pairs because most people were so bad at using them.
Hey Terry! Is that you?
@@clauswolter3946 Hi Claus. Yes, it is me. How are you doing?
@@tbaysculler Hahahaha - Great! thank you! Funny to find you here. I was replying to the following "reply" but mistakenly put it under your reply and then noticed your name. I deleted the comment which was about Brent Rushall who told us how the Aussies took imprints of people's butts to personalize their in-boat seats.
@@clauswolter3946 I'm not entirely convinced that anything Brent said was the truth. He was a good storyteller, but may have been prone to exaggeration. I can believe that Brent convinced some guys to sit in plaster of paris to make butt molds. That's my best laugh of the week.
@@tbaysculler Brent also told us (Leander "Boat" Club guys) of how the aussies also experimented with a catamaran type hull for an eight - and in reviewing video he shot of us at Henley (Royal Canadian) he remarked how I exhibited the classic "preying mantis" position at the catch hahaha.
Why is it called the learn to row pair?
Trent Lee they both want to improve their technique
We are learning to row!
I Tagged you on a photo on IG and you never Saw it...thats sad
