At the catch, all blades must enter the water at the same place and at the same time.
If they don’t, the boat becomes unsettled.
The U-Sweep System gives each rower a clear visual reference for blade entry.
The blade can then enter the water at the right place and with the right timing.
The U-Sweep System
The U-Sweep System is composed of:
multiple U-Sweep
a U-Sweep Tool
The U-Sweep give each rower a clear visual reference of where to place the blade in the water.
The U-Sweep Tool allows each U-Sweep to be positioned very easily and precisely,
in a consistent way, with the same angle relative to the oarlock.
Installing the system
Installing one U-Sweep in front of each rower gives the whole crew the same visual reference for blade entry.
When the blade enters the water at the same place and at the same time throughout the boat, the catch becomes more consistent, and everything else becomes easier.
👉 The videos below show how to install and set up the U-Sweep using the U-Sweep Tool.
