Description

A boat that’s not set up correctly can quietly limit your stroke, comfort, and performance. In this episode, we highlight the most frequent setup issues rowers face—from foot stretcher height to gate position, oar length, heel depth, and more. You’ll learn how each adjustment affects your stroke angles and overall feel—and how to spot problems early, whether you’re on land or on the water.

We also explain the reasoning behind each tweak, so you’re not just copying settings—you’re understanding them. Decent Rowing Members can go deeper with our exclusive video collection, where we demonstrate the key concepts in action and show you how to get your setup right, step by step.
