HOW TO PLAY

The drummer beats a steady rhythm that all rowers must paddle in time with, keeping strokes synchronized.

On the starting signal, all boats race along a marked water course toward the finish line.

The steerer adjusts direction using a rear paddle or rudder to keep the boat on the straightest line possible.
5
The first boat to have its bow cross the finish line wins the race.
