Forward facing standup rowing watercraft
10124865 · 2018-11-13 ·

A standup forward facing rowing watercraft is disclosed. The craft includes a hull having first and second opposed ends; a deck affixed to the hull, the deck including a surface for supporting a rider who may face in the direction of the movement of the watercraft; and an outrigger attached to the deck, the outrigger including a pivot point that extends outwardly from the deck, the pivot point being capable of accepting an oar. The oar is capable of rotating in the pivot point so as to allow a rider to employ a j-stroke to provide forward course correction when powering the watercraft with one oar. The outrigger can be adapted to include a second pivot point extending outwardly from the deck, the second pivot point being capable of accepting a second oar. The outrigger may preferably be adapted for longitudinal movement in relation to the deck of the watercraft.

ROWING PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION SYSTEM AND METHODS

In some embodiments, a system includes a memory, a processor, a display, and a set of sensors. The processor may be coupled to the memory and coupled to a boat. The set of sensors may include a subset of rower sensors associated with a rower and a subset of boat sensors associated with the boat. The subset of boat sensors may be configured to measure at least one environmental condition. The processor may be configured to generate normalized performance data associated with at least one of the boat and the rower for presentation on the display. The normalized performance data may be based in part on the at least one environmental condition measured by the subset of boat sensors. The normalized performance data may also be based in part on data collected by the subset of rower sensors.
