Hi,
You mean you were in the Navy when they still had galleys? Didn't realize you were that old :lol:

Had a friend that was a coxswain for the UW crew. Part she hated most was being barfed on at the end of a race. So, OK, I've never lost my lunch on a boat, and I can't say that about on a track. But how much strategy is needed to keep "legs, keep moving" in mind (or "arms, keep pulling" for that matter).:)

For an oarsman, it isn't about strategy. It's about power and endurance, sorta like the triathalon. Now, for the sculls without coxwains, there is a bit of strategy.

Sailing can indeed be rigorous. I was only ever in a race once, grinding line on a yawl, and it was hard work. That said, if you can carry a keg on the boat and get drunk on it during the race, as an option, I don't think it's an Olympic sport. :lol:

YMMV
