Boating

This vintage book is a detailed guide to boating, with information on design and construction, history, boating as a profession and for sport, training, rowing clubs, and many other related aspects. "e;Boating"e; would once have been widely read by young students of Oxford and Cambridge, but still offers a wealth of invaluable information to the modern reader with an interest in boating. Contents include: "e;The Rise of Modern Oarsmanship"e;. "e;Scientific Oarsmanship"e;, "e;Coaching"e;, "e;The Captain"e;, "e;The Coxwain and Steering"e;, "e;Sliding Seats"e;, "e;Four-Oars"e;, "e;Pair-Oars"e;, "e;Sculling"e;, "e;Boat-Building and Dimensions"e;, "e;Training"e;, "e;Rowing Clubs"e;, "e;The Amateur, his History and Description"e;, "e;Rowing at Eton College"e;, "e;Watermen and Professionals"e;, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on boating.
