Winning Head Races

Winning Head Races

Guide to rowing in head races (timed processional races on long, winding courses), with sections on pacing, boats and fins, oars and rigging, navigation, traffic, training for long distance, and race preparation, plus appendices on strength training, using a mirror, and turning. Four great race courses, including The Head Of The Charles®, are described with comments. Contents fill a gap in the vast body of rowing literature devoted to rowing fast, side-by-side on straight courses.
