I just showed this to my dad who has never even seen rowing, and his immediate response was "Why did they let go of the things? That's what made them tip."
I must commend you its takes skill, patience, and gravity to flip a four and you managed to flip a 4 quite effectively, not as impressive as flippin an 8 but pretty damn close
@@555pontifex I think the blades are the ends of the oars. The oar is the whole thing. But I might be wrong, I learnt all the vocabulary in another language
I love how it started with just stroke letting go, which dipped the boat to one side, but then all three behind her let go of the oars when they felt the dip and grabbed the edges of the boat to feel safer. Yeah didn't work so well...
I flipped an 8 once, safe to say our captain was less than impressed. Turns out if the wrong side get out before anyone else on the landing stage you run the risk, lesson learnt!
I think it is interesting how almost every response in a panic situation is the worst one possible. Like people forgetting how to use a door when a building is in fire, or in this instance, letting go of the oar, the one thing stabilizing the boat
flipped a four once too, didnt let go of the oar though, we had my fellow starboard guy who caught a good ore-behind-the-back crab which caused me to go uderwater too, luckely i didnt let go of the ore, less lucky was the fact that i busted open the ore lock and i got dragged along
2 years of rowing heres my caps. - 10 singles - 2 doubles - 1 sunk quad - 1 capsized quad - 1 fall from coach boat total: 15 this doesnt include - trying to climb into a boat after capping but then flipping over the top. - falling into the water while trying to get in or out of a boat. if we include those itll be around 20
unless you are trying to train sweep rowers. or your boathouse can't afford to buy riggers, another boat, etc. but yes in general i do agree, except i would put them in a barge or an eight for their first season (if you're trying to train scullers put them in a oct.
To be fair, the cox should have had their blades feathered and resting on the water whilst he was explaining. NOVICES at FRONT STOP with SQUARE blades? Recipe for disaster.
This is considered nearly impossible on an 8 seat boat. However I do not want to test this because the water in New Jersey is always very col and is nearly freezing right now. If we ever flip our A Team boat our coach would probably make us do body circuits until we died.
ha. i saw a quad hit a bridge one time...that flipped them instantly. needless to say, we won! :) . this was just a noob mistake, and clearly it was coach's fault--didn't tell them to hold on to the oars at all times, didn't tell teh cox not to grab someon'e oar.... just noobs all around. but good for a laugh! :)
when the stroke was getting correction and the boat tipped a bit she immediately let go of her oars. It is pretty obvious that beginners like her should be rowing with two oars.
To be fair, we've had what felt like a few close calls in trying to spin, especially in the four. For some reason, when backing port, no one can ever get the timing right in our boat. And then for some reason, when it starts to tip to starboard, one of our starboard guys begins raising his handle to catch the water before realizing "oh shit, that's making things worse." Problem is, it's not a once or twice thing. I love my boat bros, but boy does it get annoying. But, for all the messes we've had on the water, we've never managed to actually flip, so I guess we're a step up from the learn to row guys? (I have a sneaking suspicion this is learn to row?)
first off, this is a four. quads are skulled fours. second, fours are easier to flip. Less oars for the shell to balance off of. Eights are the hardest to flip, singles are the easiest. I hope you appreciate the lesson i gave you today.
why would you put the biggest person you have in stroke. 2 & 3 seat are the only places for larger people if you have such a difference in rowers like this boat
I just showed this to my dad who has never even seen rowing, and his immediate response was "Why did they let go of the things? That's what made them tip."
I like how aaaaall of them let go of the oars haha, you learn fast after that :)
I must commend you its takes skill, patience, and gravity to flip a four and you managed to flip a 4 quite effectively, not as impressive as flippin an 8 but pretty damn close
I was at a regatta one time and we were trying to hotseat and an eight flipped on the dock and it was hilarious but really inconvenient
+Jaya N.S. i was at a regatta and a Two Not flipped but one fell out and the other were still in it. dont know how they managed that 😂
its not hard when everybody just let goes of the oars at the same time LOL
boat slightly tips and they all let go of their oars omg 😂
Aaaannndd that's why you never let go of your oars :)
Never, never let go of your oars. Bad things can happen. I think you found that out very quickly.
They're called 'blades', not 'oars'
@@555pontifex they are called the same where im rowing they either called them blades or oars but more oars so what u talking about?

"Should we go over there?" NO! this is a great time to teach them the recovery drill!
My coach always tells me "the golden rule of rowing is DON'T LET GO OF YOUR OARS! otherwise, you'll be going for a swim".
i am training rowing for 6 years and this is first time i see 4+ fliping over
Lol, KEEP HOLD OF THE BLADES!!!! And have them feathered when resting on the water not squared, if they are feathered it will not tip
first rule of rowing: don't talk about fight club.
second rule of rowing: don't let go of the damn oars...jeez, guys....
:(
The launch looks more like a party boat lol
hahahaha oh god i love how they all just let go of their oars as soon as it starts to tip
this should be called "coxswain flips a four"
I think the only case in which you are allowed to capsize a four is if it's done intentionally XD
Seen this done. First reaction of a Learn to Row is to let go of the blade and grab the saxboard... hours of fun - just do it when it's warm!
I love the coach’s “Oh gosh!”
flipped a four once too, didnt let go of the oar though, we had my fellow starboard guy who caught a good ore-behind-the-back crab which caused me to go uderwater too, luckely i didnt let go of the ore, less lucky was the fact that i busted open the ore lock and i got dragged along
2 years of rowing heres my caps.
- 10 singles
- 2 doubles
- 1 sunk quad
- 1 capsized quad
- 1 fall from coach boat
total: 15
this doesnt include
- trying to climb into a boat after capping but then flipping over the top.
- falling into the water while trying to get in or out of a boat.
if we include those itll be around 20
been rowing for 4 years and never flipped lmao, whats ur 2k??
@@clipzyss only 8:26 but that was from ages ago, my 5k is like 22:05 though, what's yours?
my 2ks like 7:47

we crashed into a bridge in a river race when we were beating national champions over 2km. still have the scar on my back
Being a coxswain I have never seen a rowing boat flip before in person.
i must say im actually quite impressed, if someone told me i had 5 seconds to cap a four, honestly dont think i could
I’m a coxswain, and if I saw someone let go of their oar, I was allowed to assign push-ups and jumpees
Pretty sure that’s lesson nr.1: Never ever let go of the handle unless someone tells you to.
Rowed for years and never accomplished that trick.....coxswain did exactly what we were taught which was drape yourself over the hull
yea your probably right. i dont know much about pairs, never rowed in one but always wanted to
I blame the coxswain. He started leaning.
First rule of rowing never let go of the ores
One of the days I didn't cox I rowed and I flipped the four
When bow and 3 seat let go of their oars, they were doomed.
ahhhh....you were in the fly-and-die club!
been there.
the secret's comming in first AFTER the bridge. ;)
(that's the tricky bit)
To be fair, the cox should have had their blades feathered and resting on the water whilst he was explaining. NOVICES at FRONT STOP with SQUARE blades? Recipe for disaster.
they all let go of the oars hahah
Ha. The cox jumps out before it even flips
Oh gosh. You must be Canadian. Hilarious
@hatys4 I think they were learning to keep the boat steady with their oars in full swing, and they messed it up.
I detected Upper Midwestern/Canadian accents. That's about right.
nice one cox....
@JaMeS951011 no, they fell because they all let go of their oars.
still, the cox shouldn't be messing with the oars.
You had one job...
thats exactly how I flipped my four😂
U should have told them to never let go BEFORE they got into the boat
@Flex5005 no? quads are one of the easiest to tip
Am I the only one who is reminded of Alabama's eight at this past Gainesville Regatta?
did anyone notice the #3 oar is not locked in properly too xD what a shambles. Why are these people in a 4+? lol
My coach would not be laughing.
wow a quad...
entirely the coxs fault, pressed down on the persons oar making it go into the air and capping
he really should meet a group of people that i know that once flipped a octuple
This is considered nearly impossible on an 8 seat boat. However I do not want to test this because the water in New Jersey is always very col and is nearly freezing right now. If we ever flip our A Team boat our coach would probably make us do body circuits until we died.
i would say the fine single is easiest to flip
How are they not wearing life jackets
ha. i saw a quad hit a bridge one time...that flipped them instantly.
needless to say, we won! :)
.
this was just a noob mistake, and clearly it was coach's fault--didn't tell them to hold on to the oars at all times, didn't tell teh cox not to grab someon'e oar....
just noobs all around. but good for a laugh! :)
An 8 would be alot better for new peeps
"OH GOSH"
DONT LET GO OF THE FUCKN OAR
my couch always says if you need to scratch your back fuck it
because if you do you will be in the drink
Where they do capsize drills?
Why did all of them keep there oars ups.
that was the firt thing I learnd about rowing and now about three years later I tyr it and I didn't swim.. so it's possible
well done
This is why we can't have nice things
I would argue that a pair is the easiest to flip
Yea i almost flipped but i never let go of the oars also i did flip once because i missed the water
everyone except 2 seat let go of their oars lol
when the stroke was getting correction and the boat tipped a bit she immediately let go of her oars. It is pretty obvious that beginners like her should be rowing with two oars.
Novices are always better in eights
You guys don't understand, if we manage to flip over a four or eight. MY COACHES WILL BE SO MAD.

that was the coxswains fault
SMH the cox jumps on the boat
didn't know it was possible
💞Wow💛💛🧡💛💛💛💛💛
I don't understand the logic of putting novices in a four when they just learning. An eight would be a better choice
Whenever someone capsizes at our boat club the coaches record it and laugh like hell :L
@nolynnco34 except not really its a 4 not a quad..... :p
yeah the coxswain's not laughing
SET THE BOATlol... is what my cox would have yelled
Boat tipped a millimetre because their blades were in the air and they all just decided to completely let go of them
and why you don't put first timers in a 4.
where is plat or balance this boat
It's a capsize you flip a coin
oh gosh.
Hahahaha so funny
How in the hell?
how do you flip a FOUR? without meaning to. crew fail
True that
Wouldnt have happened if they held on to their ore
4+ ?
first off, this is a four. quads are skulled fours. second, fours are easier to flip. Less oars for the shell to balance off of. Eights are the hardest to flip, singles are the easiest. I hope you appreciate the lesson i gave you today.
Lol this year my rowing team flipped an oct😅
this literally just happened to me today it was terrifying we had no coach AHHAH
actually quads are 'sculled' not 'skulled' i hope you enjoyed that lesson also :)
1 vs 3(or4). 1 wins
why would you put the biggest person you have in stroke. 2 & 3 seat are the only places for larger people if you have such a difference in rowers like this boat
LOL
