Any pointers on rowing? i never really thought about that lol im good at maneuvering but not sure about backing down a drift straight:yikes:
You're really not going to learn to row from the Interwebz, but i'll give you one pointer...
Oftentimes you will need to point the boat at what you don't want to hit. (I know, weird concept but true)
That way when you apply power (oar stroke), you are pulling away from said object as the current moves you downstream.
A DB is different than rowing a lake boat. It will spin on its center by design, for example.
The oarlocks are usually open and not pinned like some lighter duty row boats.
An open oarlock is safer and more useful in the drift boat application if you can get through the learning curve, and it's not hard to learn.
Good luck.
