No complaints about this at all. Had a slight stress at the start when I was asked to tap it up and realised my fine adjustment skills are somewhat lacking. Got dropped off the start, as I didn't have one (just built it up over a few) then caught a semi crab on the 10th stroke, leaving me about 3 lengths down and dropping.
I was struggling to grip with my right hand which is suffering from swapping between sweep and sculling at the moment, and then some wash around half way didn't help things. But then I got to the 300m to go marker on the bank, relaxed, started enjoying it, and started coming back at Mike. To be fair, he had taken the rate down a bit and was padling over, but he had to put in a lift on the last ten strokes to keep the gap at one length.
Good way to start the sculling career.
