Points to note	Exercise
Blades should be off water and parallel to it. Body 15 degrees past vertical, sitting back. Watch hands move away. Elbows move towards each other to create straight but not locked arms. Hands brush as they cross. Left hand in front of right. Hands move away from body. Note: There should be minimum gap between hand heights. This is set by correct detail to rigging.	Back chock rowing Note: In early boat building wooden chocks were placed at front and back of slide to stop seat sliding off. 3 - 5 sets of 10 max. Take time between exercises.

Boat is moving fastest at this point.
