The forward / introduction is  free  to download

The commencement of 38+ Chapters,  yes ROWING  ' Isims ' by 'The Feathering Ferret' 

For too many years the expectations on rowers, coxswains, coaches and administrators continues to take its toll. The attrition rate is far too high due to pushing  them beyond their limits, physically, mentally, financially etc.  So the Ferret wants to provoke thought along these lines.  Not to reinvent the wheel but lubricate it a little. Hence these chapters will  hopefully take us to play in the puddle and not keep diving head first into it year after year.

The Ferret has some new and old, some crazy ideas if you dare open the lid and take a peep to help you to live a life more passionate about rowing,   e.g.    The measure of success?  Are school rowers just fodder?,  What is a force curve?    We can,  Row better not harder!!!

The Intro  -   P⁴     ' The Chicken or the Egg   '  Fifty eight years in the cooking. By chapter 6 you may see the light. Hopefully we can setup many new rowers before their neuro-muscular  programming is 'set',  to be another .....BATTERED ROWER  

Confusing for some but how does one prioritize rowing's  many skills,  equipment set-up  etc, to row efficiently  with P⁴  perfection?

The Ferret's ideas are just that.  P⁴ once understood,  works to eliminate boat stop and promote boat speed , yes, at the 'catch'
