We've all been told by our coach to go around the turn! Pull in hard, tap down, and go around the turn into the recovery. But tapping down is often an art given to a gentle movement and not a firm push down. Shifting from a firm push to a gentle motion can determine the set of the boat and ultimately the speed as another other form causes poor boat set, a rough recovery, and ultimatly boat check. Tap down is just that, a gentle tap or change in direction. Thinking about the motion as creating a C and eliminating the sqaure corners can help. Pull in and draw your hands down and raround into the recovery. Its a small range of motion but critical at the finish and when done effectivly ciritcal to boat speed. Tap down gently my friends.
