Best way to increase boat speed during the recovery

Quick hands away and floating the slide is a thing of the past. We don't subscribe to the way rowing was taught some years ago, and is still the case in some instances. We believe in floating the hands away and accelerating into the the placement and have some good reasoning behind it.

In our Technique series, we plan to do detailed videos on each part of the stroke. In this video we look at how to generate boat speed in the recovery, to minimise resistance on the hull, make use of your momentum from the drive, minimise time of the boat trimming stern down.
