The Arts Of Rowing And Training: With An Appendix Containing The Laws Of Boat-Racing, &C. The work is a mid-19th-century manual on the art and science of rowing, training, and race regulation. Originating from a series of articles published in a field journal, it surveys the equipment and boats used in freshwater rowing, including outriggers, keel-less hulls, and sculling craft, and explains proper oar and scull handling, seating, and stroke technique. It provides a detailed program for coaching and training crews, covering preparatory stages, strict training, diet, and health considerations, as well as the trainer’s duties and the management of regattas. The text also presents the Laws Of Boat-Racing, definitions of amateurs and juniors, and guidelines for betting and race organization. Historical context on boat-building innovations and notable crews is offered, along with practical advice for masters, coxswains, and competitors aiming for long-distance, high-standard amateur racing.
