 | Rowing shoes |
 Excapitain writes "Dear all,
Rowing shoes have a strap which connects the heel of the shoe to the foot-stretcher (the platform to which the shoe is attached.)
Each heel-strap must be attached in such a way that the sole of the shoe does not rise above the horizontal. Heel-straps must not be looped through the bottom-mounting of the foot-stretcher in such a way that lifting one shoe pulls the other down.
Rowers shall not disconnect their heel-straps. This endangers other crew members, and can result in disqualification of the boat or delays boating in races.
Coxes should regularly ask the crew to check that heel-straps are correctly fitted (see coxing instructions on information page.)
When I checked the new four prior to the race at Peterborough regatta, I found that the heel-straps had been disconnected at bow.
When we were boating for the Boston Marathon, both heel-restraints at bow had been disconnected. This delayed our boating until the heel-restraints had been re-fitted."
