Timestamps
00:45 Switching sweep and sculling
Masters frequently get asked to swap - first couple of times you are clumsy and have lost fine motor skills.
Differences are about oar handling, movements up and down the boat and round the rigger.
01:30 List of differences
Sweep - grip on recovery, feathering, hands away (outside hand), body rotation towards the rigger, hand height at catch, elbow position at finish.
Sculling - grip on recovery, thumbs, left hand lead, nested hands, Left hand getting higher at catch, elbow position at finish.
02:50 Visible signs of what goes wrong
Get videoed or ask the person sitting behind you to tell you what they can see.
Sweep - feathering with both hands, holding on too tight with the inside hand, both arms straight, leaning away from rigger, outside elbow flares sideways, inside shoulder higher than outside shoulder.
Causes of the main issues - getting the correct hand to do each job - in sweep feathering with inside hand and outside hand controlling the handle height.
Sculling - hands hit each other, crossover with wrong hand in front, stacked not nested hands at the crossover, air gap between handles, elbows tucked to the side body.
07:30 Drills to help you switch
Practice these in the warmup.
Sweep drills - wide grip / inside hand down the loom isolates the hand, inside hand holding the seat top behind your back, press down with the outside hand, inside hand on the backstay (square blades), eyes looking out to your side of the boat.
Sculling drills - left hand lead, pausing at hands away, pause at finish with blades on the water to check your elbows, slap catches to train handle height at the catch.
