Every rower has a story to tell. Rebecca has been collecting these stories of triumph and disaster, of friendship and adversity since 2017. The sport of rowing has unique anecdotes because wherever rowers meet (online or in person) they share stories.This book is a collection built on contributors from around the globe - old, young and from many countries. Two of this year's stories relate to oft-written parts of rowing history that are hard to visualise. Firstly wooden boat building - who does it nowadays? We publish a detailed account of one person's attempt to build a racing shell out of wood when the expert practitioners are no longer around. And secondly, the Thames Waterman's rowing technique - much lauded as an efficient use of the water and physical endeavour to move a boat but only described in words - not pictures. I found a video in which Sherry Cassuto demonstrates how to row a waterman's catch in a modern single scull.
