Every rower in the world, every coach and every coxswain has told a story to someone about their experience of rowing. This book curates tales from around the world - some are the highest Olympic representatives; others enthusiastic club members. The lighthearted "banter" between coaches and the hilarious attempt to commentate in a foreign language will make you smile. Insights about famous athletes like Eric Murray and Drew Ginn from their former coaches help us understand what it takes to become a champion. Joe Rantz's daughter from the "Boys in the Boat" fame tells us more tales about her Father beyond his rowing career winning Olympic gold in 1936. Each tale is re-told with wry smiles and the gleam of remembrance of past regattas. We have tales from athletes re-visiting a race from their youth, others finding their first experience of a regatta overwhelming. Some of the tales started through the RowingChat podcast, hosted by Rebecca Caroe.

Each tale is re-told with wry smiles and the gleam of remembrance of past regattas. We have tales from athletes in opposing crews describing the same race - in Munich for the 1972 Olympic Regatta.

Rowing Tales 2020 covers the strange year we've all lived through. Our tales explain our situation - and give us hope that we will continue to row again in the future. Most of these tales are not about Covid-19, they're a blend of quick-fire anecdotes, misdemeanours and some quiet triumphs. I have included several ocean and coastal rowing stories - more of us row coastal every year and you'll see the appeal when you read Guin Batten and Ben Booth.For the first time I've included some group stories on common themes - umpiring situations, coaching situations you wish hadn't happened, and daft things we've done. I guarantee a wry smile and laugh out loud hilarity.

Every rower has a story to tell. Rebecca has been collecting these stories of triumph and disaster, of friendship and adversity since 2017. The sport of rowing has unique anecdotes because wherever rowers meet (online or in person) they share stories.This book is a collection built on contributors from around the globe - old, young and from many countries. Two of this year's stories relate to oft-written parts of rowing history that are hard to visualise. Firstly wooden boat building - who does it nowadays? We publish a detailed account of one person's attempt to build a racing shell out of wood when the expert practitioners are no longer around. And secondly, the Thames Waterman's rowing technique - much lauded as an efficient use of the water and physical endeavour to move a boat but only described in words - not pictures. I found a video in which Sherry Cassuto demonstrates how to row a waterman's catch in a modern single scull. Perfect for gifts for coaches, stocking fillers or a little present for yourself.

Harvard University coach and acclaimed rowing author, Dan Boyne, tells a humorous story of his first year of freshman crew, including a sub plot of personal redemption against an insufferable football player who has bullied him throughout high school. After being accepted at Trinity College in Hartford, CT, Boyne decides to take up rowing, the only sport that takes place far off campus, on the adventurous waters of The Connecticut River. There, he quickly experiences the unique rigors, rewards, and colorful personalities of the sport, not knowing that his nemesis has decided to try out for crew, at rival school Coast Guard Academy. As racing season approaches, Boyne becomes part of an exceptional freshman lightweight boat, with high hopes to win the National Championships in Philadelphia that year, but his final fears are realized when he discovers that his old high school archenemy is also doing well, and rowing in the very same position as he is—the seven seat. The authors previous book, The Red Rose Crew earned a starred Kirkus review and became a Boston Globe bestseller in 2001. , In 2008, Dan was awarded first prize in the category of biography in the Premier Book Awards for Kelly. , Motion picture rights for The Red Rose Crew have been sold, and the script is now being written.

Olympic rowers Gary and Paul O'Donovan may be the face of Irish rowing and Skibbereen Rowing Club, and have enormously increased the popularity of rowing in Ireland, but they're just one piece of a much larger jigsaw. Without their club and the people behind the scenes, they wouldn't be Olympic silver medalists, 2018 world champions, former European champions and, in Paul's case, a three-time world champion. Almost one hundred Skibbereen Rowing Club athletes have represented Ireland at various regattas over the years; a staggering figure when viewed in light of the size of the club. Founded in 1970, it is now the undisputed most successful rowing club in the country, producing five Olympic rowers since 2000 and four world champions between 2016 and 2018. It is the characters involved in the club, the coaches, members and the athletes themselves, who come together to make Skibbereen Rowing Club what it is. Something in the Water reveals what goes on behind the scenes to create an environment that allows locals to excel on the national and international stages. The story is told through the people and families involved, showing how relatable they are to people around the country.
